Role
Sarah leads and manages Boldin Advisors with one clear goal: to provide straightforward, affordable, and trustworthy advice that empowers clients to feel confident, informed, and in control of their financial future.

Background
Sarah graduated from the University of Idaho with a Bachelor’s in Business Management and Human Resources Management, and began her career in the Human Resources field, managing retirement and benefit plans. During that time, she couldn’t find a financial advisor with a service model she’d feel comfortable using herself. So, she decided to become the kind of advisor she’d want to work with: candid, flat-fee advice when it’s needed. That journey led her to Boldin, where transparency and empowering clients with the knowledge and tools to take control of their financial future are at the core of everything we do.

In Her Free Time
Sarah is married to a fourth-generation farmer, and if you know anything about farming, you know there’s no such thing as free time. When she’s not in the office, you’ll find her outdoors, teaching her children by example that a rich life is built through purpose, discipline, legacy, and stewardship, all while singing along to some good ol’ country music.
