I have a lot of thoughts



SARAH BEALS SAGER
Coach | Librarian | Ph.D. Student
Hi, I'm Sarah.
I own Teal Legacies, a coaching business where I help people empower themselves professionally and personally. I specialize in the professions of themed entertainment, academics, and libraries. I also use pop culture and geek culture to coach nerdy lifestyles.
With a background in marketing, a master's degree in anthropology, and a master's in library and information science, I am interning at the Walt Disney Company managing their marketing assets.
In my current studies, I attend the Univerisity of Central Florida in their Texts and Technology program. I research storytelling in theme parks, specifically their inclusiveness and accessibility.
Thank you for visiting.

SARAH
