"I am humbled to be given this opportunity to work at CSM amongst such talented administration, staff, and coaches. Being able to build a program from the ground up is a rarity, I'm thrilled to begin. I look forward to connecting with my Bay Area volleyball friends, mentors and fellow coaches, and am committed to finding the best talent in the area to be a part of this special program at CSM. My philosophy is simple: create a hard-working, prideful program by developing young women on the court, in the classroom, and beyond. My student-athletes will leave the Bulldog program knowing the values they learn here will also equip them for life after college."

Sara Lawrence

Sara Lawrence has been teaching at CSM since 2013 and currently serves as a lead faculty member in the Writing Center. She loves all forms of teaching and loves teaching writing in particular because she gets to watch her students figure out what they want to say to the world. For anyone kind enough to listen, she’ll go hoarse singing the praises of Italo Calvino, Parks and Recreation, The Clash, and Dynamo Donuts. When she’s not doing teacherly things, you can likely find her at the beach, at a farmers’ market, in a roastery, in a batting cage, or on dlisted.com.
