Sara is one of the most talented and dedicated people that I know, incredibly organized with a high level of detail and care to all of her work, particularly on events, including things like Discover Brigham, a high-profile, high-attendance scientific symposium and poster session, for over a decade. She is an exceptional communicator, able to move between the needs of print and web, with years of experience maintaining events on the web through email marketing, content management systems and other digital communication platforms.

I worked with Sara Yohannes through her role at the Brigham Research Institute, while I led the Postdoctoral Leadership Council. Sara provided unmatched support for the Postdoctoral Community and served as a valuable liaison between our team and the organizational administration. Throughout the 2 years we worked together, Sara proved to be highly organized and efficient, with an aptitude for communication and administrative duties.

I had the pleasure of working with Sara as part of the BWH Connors-BRI Center for Women's Health and Sex/Gender Medicine. Sara's partnership, professionalism, and attention to detail were essential to the success of our regular Center meetings and to the planning and execution of our annual symposium. Her organizational skills, understanding of the complex nature of the broad science we represent, and hard work to handle multiple logistics were greatly appreciated by Center leadership, members, and symposium attendees.

Sara is extraordinarily talented and a delight to work with -- a remarkable combination. She is very organized and efficient, comes up with effective strategies, anticipates what is needed before you even think about what comes next, is attentive to detail, implements successfully, and is technically very savvy. I would hire her in a minute if I could.

Sara has organized an annual science conference at our institution for many years. The success of this event was largely driven by her ability to plan many months in advance and track the numerous moving pieces throughout the process, including adjusting the entire event to the virtual environment during the pandemic years.

My company, ePosterBoards, has worked in collaboration with Sara while she was employed by the Brigham Research Institute. She served as the main planning liaison for all of the digital poster session related events. She was always very easy to communicate with both during the planning phases and onsite at the event. She is very thorough with her work, has a strong work ethic and was able to also instruct new employees on how to assist with event planning initiatives. I would highly recommend her for any type of academic/hospitality program management or event planning/management related roles.

Sara is conscientious, thoughtful, detail-oriented, hardworking and dedicated to making a difference in all she does. I worked with her in various roles over the years at the Brigham Research Institute (BRI). Sara’s career trajectory is a testimony to her professional growth and competence; she is always exceeding expectations. Sara directly contributed in numerous ways to the many successes of the BRI. She exhibited excellent program and project management skills and flawlessly executed hundreds of small as well as large BRI events. She was always interested in process improvement and exploring new tools/technologies to better serve the team. She is great at working independently to move forward with plans and projects but is also very much a team player. Sara will be an asset to any organization.

Her organizational abilities are highly effective which adds to her incredible eye for detail and ensures that every aspect of an event is carefully planned and executed. What truly sets Sara apart is her ability to delegate tasks efficiently, ensuring that everyone involved is aligned and working toward the same goal.
