Sara Gandhi joined the Hilliard Education Foundation board in the fall of 2022. During her tenure with HEF, she has actively supported the Grants and Scholarships committees and currently serves as the co-chair of the Events committee, helping lead the annual Denim & Diamonds event.

The opportunity to foster educational excellence close to home is what drives Sara’s involvement. She values connecting with community members while finding innovative ways to empower local teachers to create dynamic learning experiences. “I have been fortunate to benefit from unique educational experiences through science, technology, and diversity opportunities,” Sara shared. “I look forward to providing those same rich opportunities for students and teachers right here in Hilliard.”

Originally from the east side of Cleveland, Sara has lived in Hilliard for over 18 years with her husband, Mitesh, and their son, Zayn, a rising third grader at Hoffman Trails Elementary. Deeply invested in the school community, Sara also serves on the Hoffman Trails PTO Executive Board. Professionally, she recently joined the IT team at Wendy’s corporate headquarters following a successful 15-year career in Store Operations at Bath & Body Works.
