Sarah is the director of business development at NYSARC Trust Services, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that administers pooled supplemental needs trusts and has helped over 25,000 people across New York protect funds to qualify and maintain financial eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and other means-tested benefits. She is a strong advocate for trust beneficiaries, helping the individuals maximize the benefits they receive while using the funds in their trust to live at home for as long as possible and purchase life-enhancing items and services. Sarah has presented on supplemental needs trusts and government benefit eligibility at events for the New York State Office for the Aging, Aging Life Care Association, New York State Bar Association, and at various regional bar associations throughout New York State. She routinely provides in-service trainings to attorneys, social workers, service providers, and families to raise awareness for the benefits of using a pooled trust to live independently in the community.
