Sarah Peterson has spent 20 years teaching high school math, beginning her career in New York City and now teaching in the surrounding suburbs. Over that time, she's worked with the full spectrum of learners, from English as a New Language (ENL) students to ICT classes to honors-level courses, building a teaching style that adapts to whatever room she's in. That range, combined with a certification in computer science and a background in finance, has shaped her into more than just a math teacher: she also teaches personal finance and mentors colleagues on retirement planning.

That versatility carries over into her role as her school's STEAM leader, where she designs and leads professional development spanning math, technology, computer science, cybersecurity, and personal finance. Countless teachers have come through her mentorship, gaining confidence in subjects that are only becoming more essential in today's classrooms.

Now bringing that same breadth to schools as a consultant, Sarah offers practical, engaging training in STEM and financial literacy for teachers and students alike. Her blend of classroom experience across every student population, technical certification, and financial expertise makes her a uniquely versatile resource for any school looking to strengthen instruction across multiple disciplines.
