Sarah Dylan Jensen's Full Bio: Farmers Market Manager and Social Media Maven, Sarah Dylan Jensen, studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute for Design & Merchandising in Southern California. She immediately jumped into the design industry at Eddie Bauer, followed by Tommy Bahama, Zumiez, Kische, and Brooks Sports. After 10+ years in the industry, she decided it was time to move toward a smaller, more localized focus, and away from the politics that office jobs - even in fashion design - can bring.   Sarah created Mockingjay Press with the dream of bringing desire back to small-town shopping. In her social media business, she helps bring awareness and insight to supporting small, local shops & businesses. Through curated connections in the community, she became the Snohomish Farmers Market Manager in 2015. As market manager, Sarah curates an engaging vendor mix, working with local artisans, creators, and farmers. Sarah handles the social media & graphic advertising for her (now 3) farmers markets, along with her growing client list in & around the greater Snohomish area.   Sarah was a featured speaker at the 2019 Washington State Farmers Market Association conference, as well as the 2018 Women in Business Conference.

This second panel is made up of 3 passionate & dedicated guests, who bravely wear their hearts on their sleeves and roll them up working hard to make a positive difference. As I said prior to our first show - if you have ever wished you could do something to help or imagined a world where more people care, you'll want to tune in and find out what some people are already doing to make positive things happen. Everyone does have something to contribute and if you take action and just do it --who knows what good might come of it!

The purpose they have chosen to put their efforts toward is giving young adults (teens) who have aged out of the foster care system a launching pad or starting place to finish strong. We'll find out more about that and Katrina's motivation to help others. Also joining us is Diane Altomare, Master Integrative Coach, Emotional Expert, Author, Speaker and Host of Politically Emotional, a cal-lin talk radio show aimed at bridging the political divide and creating better communication and understanding between opposing sides.
