Sarah Birdsall

Vanakam Vish here! and it wouldn't be befitting if we don't celebrate @sarahmaryannbirdsall for her amazing time at OISS and the enthusiasm that she shares! I'm proud and happy to conclude my last post with the #humansofoiss of our very own Sarah! Nanri!

1. Your name and school!
Sarah Birdsall, Yale Divinity School '22

2. What is your best memory about featuring Humans of OISS and wider OISS role?
I loved getting to interview so many different people! Honestly the portrait photo session part was my favourite! I love helping people enjoy being in front of the camera

3. Your ways of storytelling are the best! What would you advise to someone like me to encourage to share more?
I think you should share what you love! That way you're always going to be more true to yourself, even if you have to do something for a big audience.

4. What's your favorite thing being an undergrad and a postgrad student Yale? (Give two distinct examples? I don't think insta has enough room lol)
I loved being an office and events aide as an undergrad at Pauli Murray!
and the best thing about being a grad student is being able to do the things you love without expectations that you should be doing everything!

5. You are from Zimbabwe. What do you miss from home?
This is an easy answer: the smiling people and the sunshine!

6. Tell us about the picture you chose to represent you?
I love this picture because I got to wear two of my favourite items my yellow rainbows and my pink dress!!
