Dr. Sarah J. McKenzie

Director of Academic Operations Projects for Shorelight's Academic Affairs
I manage the pre-arrival process for all students, and support campus teams wherever there are needs. With over 30 years of experience in academia and senior management, I have dedicated my career to inspiring students and shaping the academic strategies of institutions. A specialist in Early Modern Literature with a BA from the University of Kent, and an MA and PhD from the University of Warwick, I am able to seamlessly bridge academic rigor with innovative leadership. I live in Boston, but hail from the UK.
