About Sarah Batchu

Sarah is the Interim Director of the Center for Wellbeing and Happiness. With a strong commitment to health equity, Sarah firmly believes in the importance of holistic wellness beyond conventional medical care. That's why Sarah is on a mission to identify root causes and amplify the leadership of BIPOC communities in identifying solutions. Prior to her role at LESGC, she held positions in the New York City Mayor's Office, where she played a pivotal role in developing programs and policies for a stronger, more just city. Sarah's commitment to her community further extends to her service on Manhattan Community Board 3. Outside of work, she finds joy in baking homemade cookies and cakes, engaging in creative writing projects that amplify immigrant narratives, indulging in audiobooks borrowed from the public library, and embracing her creativity with free online sewing patterns.
