She likes good light, critical thinkers, long bike rides, NYT Recipes, collaboration, a good cup of hot coffee, and believes a long walk can fix just about any mood. A marketing and branding professional by day, she channels that same spark into endurance sports by night (and very early mornings). Endurance is kind of her thing — both professionally and athletically. She holds a Master of Science in Marketing with a focus in digital marketing analytics from Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of business. sarah.bwmn@gmail.com https://www.bumsesh.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/5ba1b98d-f441-43db-8681-b26e14ab19d2/6B670E4D-9226-4C10-B844-FB0DA66CCB69.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/a976d904-edfb-4006-8e4b-1593bb2db0b8/IMG_0223.JPG Gallery The Hideout 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/e522da86-263e-4b50-9197-2fdbe4e55f98/F6B0A55F-4983-42A4-AD50-68C3344EA93B.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/52925bca-2816-491d-ba2e-6884257f5a5c/Portra800.120film.003_2+%282%29+%282%29.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/45cbe4a4-001e-476c-ab1d-3c06692a76b3/5591555648_359d897e6c_o.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/5c19d9b3-558a-4d98-8967-26cd6214364f/F926D09D-0E26-4019-B682-FAD52F2BF20B.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/b399e730-96d8-4401-9cd8-a70127c74448/D6EAF36E-08A4-4E00-BDD3-B4EB48E83A8E.JPG Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/140c0339-8221-4837-b254-59b249bca3a5/02730009+%281%29.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/6f0d6097-34f8-4aee-9397-ac7bf252cc44/0D83C8C6-B35B-4EF7-8E97-E9354D920CBA-76662-000019A5FFDD04C6_VSCO.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/4b5bdeeb-a836-4dfb-b6e3-ae7c9810a450/group_final.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/631ec1b0-60fe-4fd9-8b13-33e575e16ceb/5596701627_70a4f09550_o.jpg Gallery South bound Redline https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/92d50e13-cc8d-4378-9ec8-4e57b08319e5/IMG_0219.JPG Gallery Damen apt, next to the velvet Elvis house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60079cd13d27c928fce6f9bd/3d037eb7-283d-4716-adfd-d4e8f84e8663/D13B7EFE-0122-4000-80AE-0E054F5FD173+%281%29.jpg Gallery
