Dr. Sarah Story grew up in Central California, where she got her start in public service in political campaign communications and community organizing. She later earned a Master of Public Policy, a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology, and a PhD in Policy Analysis from the University of California, Berkeley. Her research, and subsequent professional work, are focused on the role of social and economic opportunity in creating health inequities. Her interest in studying the effects of segregation on maternal health outcomes led her to Kansas City, Missouri, where she was first an assistant professor at the University of Missouri Bloch School of Management and then became the deputy director for the Kansas City, Missouri Health Department. She then spent the next part of her career building technology tools to democratize data for Public Health. Now happily back in local government, Dr. Story is the Executive Director of the Jefferson County, Colorado Health Department.
