Sarah Heikkinen

Sarah Heikkinen is a Troy, NY-based grant writer, freelance journalist and designer, aspiring critic, and hypocritical vegan. After getting a B.A. in English Literature with a minor in Africana & Latino Studies at SUNY Oneonta, Sarah applied to the the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University (spoiler: she got in). After a long year of writing, rewriting, and crying, Sarah received her Master's in Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism in June of 2017. Now that she's officially finished her formal education (fingers crossed), Sarah's living and working as a freelance writer and editor in Troy, NY. Her interests include poetry, writing personal essays in lieu of finding a therapist, writing about (and occasionally performing) music, dismantling the white patriarchy, and curating only the finest memes on the interweb on her Instagram and Twitter. She also has high hopes of one day writing a book, the first and last chapters of which she's already written - now, she just needs to find the middle.
