Hobbies:​
  • Travel! I have been to 15+ countries throughout the world, but my favorite travel destination up to this point is Vienna, Austria, where Ispent a few months living as a Study Abroad student
  • Concerts! My favorite concerts have included Bleachers, the Killers, and Harry Styles.
  • Reading! My favorite reading genres include Contemporary Romance, Fantasy, and Self-Help/Psychology, and I'm usually reading at least one book from each genre simultaneously
  • Doing puzzles at home with Netflix on in the background, I refuse to work on puzzles that are less than 1,000 pieces.
  • Collecting and caring for way too many plants, and I name them all after literary icons.

Personal:

My name is Sarah Penner and I'm originally from Layton, Utah and have lived there nearly all my life--apart from some brief stints in Europe. Upon graduation from High School, I began my education at Southern Utah University, originally studying Theatre Arts. My interest in Psychology was formed as a result from my personal mental health journey and observing my loved ones struggling with mental illness. Once I realized that I could do something to help other people improve their quality of life through mental health support, I changed my major to Psychology without ever having taken a Psych class before, and I haven't looked back.
Why I chose prevention:

I was drawn to Prevention first because I needed a job in the field of Psychology in order to get into Graduate School. As I have learned more about Prevention, however, I feel extremely connected to its purpose and the way it can spare communities and individuals from so much suffering. I feel I can really make a difference in other people’s lives through Prevention work, and I'm so excited to see where this path takes me.
