Sara Davidson

Hi, smart people. My name is Sara Davidson, and I’m one of the ASA’s graphic design and production coordinators. I work on many products that end up in your mailbox—the literal one and digital one—such as Amstat News, reminder flyers and postcards, web logos, and more.

I grew up in the suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri (Missouree, not Missourah), which instilled in me a life-long love of good barbecue and an appreciation for DC’s mild winters. In 2004, I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in photojournalism and a love for design. I spent the next 10 years working at newspapers, most recently at Gannett’s Military Times family of publications, where I was a design editor and lead contributor to their PT365 health and fitness blog.

In my free time, I balance a running addiction with an equally large cheeseburger addiction. After moving to the East Coast, I ran my first half-marathon with the Leukemia and Lymphoma’s Team in Training charity running team. Then I just kept going; in March, I hope to finish my second 100-mile race.

My job at the ASA is my first outside of journalism, and I’m looking forward to learning as much about associations, statistics, and data as my math-starved brain can handle.

I hope to meet many of you at CSP in New Orleans or JSM in Seattle. If you have questions (or if you just want to chat about trail running), you can reach me at sara@amstat.org.
