Her multifaceted background, including an MBA and experience in various multinational companies, underscores her capability and versatility.
Not content with merely excelling in the corporate world, Sarah chose to channel her energy into making a meaningful difference in the lives of children. Her tenure as the Chairperson of the Child Protection & Welfare Bureau, Government of the Punjab, has been nothing short of transformative.
Since assuming this role in 2013, Sarah has spearheaded a comprehensive overhaul of the bureau, breathing new life into its mission and operations.
Under Sarah’s leadership, the Child Protection Bureau has become a beacon of hope for countless children across Punjab. From facilitating adoptions of abandoned infants to reuniting missing children with their families, Sarah’s commitment to safeguarding children knows no bounds.
She has not only raised awareness about the prevalence of child beggary and abuse but has also implemented concrete measures to combat these scourges.

Her tireless advocacy on behalf of abused and neglected children led her to represent Pakistan at the United Nations conference on Child Sexual Abuse last September, where her insights and expertise were invaluable.
Sarah’s unwavering dedication has not gone unnoticed. Her nomination as Pakistan’s International Woman of Courage by US Ambassador Donald A. Blome in March 2024 is a testament to her exemplary leadership and resilience.
Furthermore, her recent recognition with the Tamatha-I-Imtiaz by the State of Pakistan is a well-deserved honor for her outstanding contributions to child protection.
