Professional Learning Associate Director
Sala provides leadership for SOWA's design and delivery of professional learning opportunities for youth development professionals, manages the DCYF contract, and coordinates SOWA's annual Bridge Conference.
ssataraka@schoolsoutwashington.orgSala’s love for education came from volunteering as a tutor in an elementary school while in college. Since then, she has had a successful career in education and expanded learning for almost 20 years. Sala has worked with individuals ranging from young children to adult learners in various settings. Her core values—community, racial equity, joy, and education—anchor her in this vital work.
As someone who benefited from afterschool and summer programs and now a mom navigating complex education systems in South Seattle, Sala is excited to contribute to the youth development field with an organization committed to supporting communities and providers across Washington.
