Our team
Sarah Jane Merritt
Sarah Jane brings her signature blend of grit, creativity, and unmistakable Jersey flair to her role as Special Projects & Executive Associate at Moxie Strategies. In this role, she manages the details that keep the big ideas moving - whether it’s coordinating multi-pronged campaigns or making sure the trains run on time (or at least on message).
Before stepping into politics and public affairs, Sarah Jane earned a Diplôme de Pâtisserie from Le Cordon Bleu and worked as a fine dining pastry chef. She may be the only person to move from pâte à choux to policy with this much style. Her love of precision, process, and public service eventually pulled her from the kitchen to the campaign trail.
Most recently, she served as a distributed organizer on the Harris Walz presidential campaign, where she helped design and implement some of the cycle’s most ambitious people-powered programs, including a record-breaking volunteer call operation and over 2,500 volunteer-hosted events. Sarah Jane is most proud of the programs she’s built that bring people together, empower communities, and prove what is possible when relationships are the foundation of strategy.
Born and raised across seven New Jersey counties, from the woods of Sussex to the cities of Essex and Union to the salt air of Monmouth and Ocean, Sarah Jane is a proud product of the Garden State. She brings a deeply rooted, well-rounded perspective to her work, always with a sharp eye, a steady hand, a sense of humor, and lots of color.
