Sarah Rudolf
Associate Director
Sarah manages Mpact: Lab regional capacity building program and works with the CEO in managing the organization.
Sarah is a dynamic facilitator-connector with a passion for collaborative problem solving. As the eldest daughter of a Malaysian-Chinese immigrant mom and White midwestern dad, she grew up with a foot in each of two worlds. Thus began her life work in acknowledging assumptions, identifying shared ground and having brave conversations to find a way forward, together. Her role directing the Mpact LAB allows her to bring this approach to place-based stakeholder groups focused on transit, land use, and community development.
Sarah holds a Masters in Public Policy and Certificate in Nonprofit Studies from the Johns Hopkins University. She and her husband, 2 teenagers and a big lazy dog reside in Roseville, MN, where Sarah serves on the city’s Public Works, Environment & Transportation Commission. After retiring from roller derby, she now dabbles in hiking, gardening and trying to maintain her Swahili Duolingo streak.
