A lifelong Genesee County resident, Sarah Schuch grew up in Swartz Creek, but now calls the city of Flint home. After receiving a journalism degree from Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Schuch spent the first five years of her career as a reporter for The Flint Journal, covering health, higher education and the community as a whole. Prior to joining Mott, she was director of communications at Kettering University, where she focused on communications strategy, social media and written storytelling.

In her spare time, Schuch enjoys traveling with her husband, running, photography, and spoiling her rescue dog Rosie and two cats.
