About Program Leader Sarah Fillerup
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Program Leader Sarah is a curious traveler. She's a psychology graduate with a minor in philosophy from Colorado Mesa University. Grounded, people-focused, and fluent in both Spanish and English, she brings a thoughtful and adventurous spirit to everything she does.
Sarah’s deep connection to the outdoors has been a guiding force in her life. Whether camping under the stars, mountain biking in the desert, canyoneering through Moab, or rafting down winding rivers, she has always found nature to be her greatest teacher. These experiences have shaped her approach to challenges. Sarah meets them with curiosity and a touch of grit. It was in these moments with nature that she realised she was destined to be a Program Leader.
While at Colorado Mesa University, Sarah competed as a collegiate swimmer for five years. Her time as an athlete instilled in her a strong sense of consistency, mental resilience, and the value of showing up fully, even when it’s tough. These lessons continue to influence her personal and professional life.
Sarah has traveled to over 15 countries and spent a month in Cairo, Egypt, where she gained a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of life beyond familiar surroundings. For her, adventure and growth have always gone hand-in-hand.
Sarah is thrilled to be part of Rooted Life Adventures, where she helps facilitate experiences that challenge individuals, foster meaningful connections, and inspire people to rediscover who they are at their core.
We're thrilled to have Sarah as part of our core team here at Rooted Life Adventures as Program Leader. Find out more about the rest of our team here.
