ABOUT

You watched her on television as a four-time Emmy-nominated anchor and reporter. You’ve seen her give informative press briefings while serving two Hartford, CT mayors. And while you didn’t see her, you heard her words delivered by executive leaders in her days as an award-winning corporate communicator and speechwriter.

Now as the CEO and Founder of her own company, Washashore Writing, Sarah Barr uses her vast experience to further build relationships and raise profiles of individuals and organizations. She works with Delaware Beach Life Magazine, Albertus Magnus College, TurleyCT Publications, and Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH), as well as a slew of individual executives, politicians, and people in transition — leading workshops at the Entrepreneurial and Women’s Business Center at the University of Hartford, the Russell Library, and the Connecticut School of Broadcasting to name a few.

Sarah finds joy in working with people at the fork in the road — whether it’s crafting speeches, writing resumes, coaching interview and presentation techniques, or providing media relations. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed. Her work is consistently recognized by organizations including the Connecticut Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSACT) and the Council of Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

A graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia, Sarah is also a firm believer in giving back to her community. She has served on a number of arts and entrepreneurial organizations - striving to make positive change in our world. An avid “movie-freak,” Sarah is now also an emerging screenwriter.
