Sara Bahl - Advisor

Personal Note:

I was born and raised in Southwest Wisconsin. After graduating from Lancaster High School, I chose to continue my education at Southwest Tech, where I earned my associate degree in Accounting. That education laid the foundation for my career in the manufacturing industry, where I spent over 11 years working in both Accounting and Human Resources roles.

As time went on, I realized I was looking for something more—something that allowed me to feel connected to my work in a meaningful way. That search led me back to Southwest Tech, but this time, I returned not as a student, but as someone eager to help others find their path.

Today, I have the privilege of working with students as they explore their goals, discover their strengths, and create a vision for their future. I believe in meeting students where they are, listening with empathy, and encouraging growth every step of the way.
