Sarah Banchefsky, PhD

Sarah is a behavioral scientist with extensive experience in both academic and applied mixed-methods research. She earned her PhD in social psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Miami University of Ohio. Inspired by her mother, who left a beloved law career to become a full-time parent, Sarah’s research has focused on understanding and reshaping the stereotypes, systems, and structures that can hinder people from achieving their dreams.

After transitioning from academia, Sarah worked at CU Boulder’s Office of Data Analytics, where she collected, analyzed, and shared survey data on student well-being and outcomes. She then joined Guild Education, where she focused on the educational journeys of working adults, using surveys, interviews, and focus groups to gather nuanced insights. In both roles, she shared findings with stakeholders and provided recommendations on how to improve services for students.

At CPCQC, Sarah is excited to apply her skills to the pressing issue of maternal and infant health outcomes. She looks forward to wrangling data into actionable insights that promote the health and well-being of birthing people and infants.

Sarah volunteers for Moms Demand Action and enjoys dabbling in painting and piano. She loves exploring Colorado’s great outdoors
