Teaching that works. Learning that lasts.
Experiential public health learning for classrooms, campuses, and communities.
Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Axelson.
I design and facilitate experiential public health learning — courses, toolkits, simulations, and speaking engagements that make learning stick.
With over 20 years in higher education, government, and nonprofit organizations, I help institutions and instructors bring evidence-based, equity-centered learning to life.
Ready to build something that lasts?
Here’s how we can work together right now:
Signature Experiences
Immersive courses you can license or bring to campus — like Design Sprints and Grant Writing intensives.
Strategic Facilitation
Custom trainings, simulations, or retreats designed for public health orgs and educational teams.
Speaking
Engaging speaking experiences for your conferences, professional development seminars, and more.
