Sarah Beard  (Vice President)  I have been a trauma registrar for the last 11 years at Marietta Memorial Hospital in Marietta, OH, a Level 3 trauma center. I became a CSTR in 2018. My background is in medical transcription. I’m single and have three (brilliant) children, Alexa, a registered dietitian; Madeline, an ICU nurse; and Jack, a senior in college studying engineering and welding. Zeke, my cat, keeps me on my toes to avoid scratches on my legs (not working). I also enjoy reading, working out, watching reality TV shows,  documentaries, and doing laundry (seriously).
