Sarah is a Senior Lecturer in Supply Chain Management at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. She received her doctorate in Humanitarian Logistics from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK.

Sarah worked on the Cash and/or Carry project during her stay at HUMLOG, revising a paper on civil-military interactions. With the focus on Ukraine within the project gaining even more prominence in 2022, she collaborated with colleagues on the topics of cash aid for Ukrainian refugees and unsolicited bilateral donations sent in response to intense media coverage of the war. Her visit included many fruitful discussions that will be taken forward into papers and projects. Sarah was also able to share her own experience in working with media outlets as an academic with everyone at HUMLOG in a seminar. She returned to the UK where she works as a Senior Lecturer in Supply Chain Management at Liverpool John Moores University excited to continue working with HUMLOG colleagues.
