Sara Baloch
Sara Baloch is a public administration graduate student and program leader working at the intersection of gender policy, international security, and community-based advocacy. Currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration with a concentration in Global Governance and Social Policy at American University, she is building the tools to design and manage programs that dismantle systemic barriers facing women and marginalized communities.
As Programming Director for American University’s Graduate Leadership Council, Sara plans and coordinates programming for the graduate student community, while also serving as a Graduate Assistant supporting faculty research and work. She brings that same programmatic approach to her professional work as a Consultant at CloudMasonry, where she leads client-facing projects from design through implementation across the nonprofit and healthcare sectors.
Sara’s commitment to gender equity took shape as a Women of Color Advancing Peace & Security (WCAPS) Pipeline Fellow, where she researched policy at the intersection of gender, race, and global security alongside women leaders in the field. She carries that same commitment into her community and advocacy work.
Outside of her program and policy work, Sara can be found behind a camera, on a hiking trail, or with a book in hand.
