My name is Sarah Elizabeth Ramsey (also known affectionately by some as Sarahbeth) and I am primarily an educator and entrepreneur with a background in photography, brand identity, communications and digital marketing. 

My focus is creating compelling communication strategies, empowering successful students, building long-lasting brand foundations, and most importantly, fostering positive experiences. 

My personal entrepreneur experience spans over 7 years (digital marketing experience is 13 years), and has been a life long growing opportunity. I grew up with a successful entrepreneurial father and started learning the art of owning a business from a very young age. After graduating high school, I went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with focus in International Business and a minor in French from Towson University, as well as a Master of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship from the University of Baltimore. During undergrad, my experience as an exchange student in Rouen, France, as well as the many other countries that I have visited so far, has given me a unique diverse lens into the business world that finds me constantly searching for new perspectives. 

In order to have a complete foundational view of business, I also became a certified brand specialist and strategist through Level C and world-renowned brand expert Marty Neumeier (also author of The Brand Gap). My brand work focuses heavily on developing identity and brand photography.
