About Sarah E. Dominguez:

Sarah was born and raised in Albuquerque and on UNM’s campus. UNM has been part of her life as long as she can remember as she learned how to swim in Johnson Pool, learned how to ride her bike on campus, attended classes (quietly) with her parents, and participated in various summer programs for kids. At UNM, she earned a BA in Chemistry & Spanish in 2008 and an MA in Educational Leadership in Fall 2023.

During her undergraduate studies, she began her UNM career as a student employee at the Office of the Medical Investigator, UNM Alumni Relations, and the University College Advisement Center (UCAC). Immediately following the completion of her bachelor’s degree, she began working as a full-time advisor for UNM. For the next 13 years served as an academic advisor in UCAC, the College of Fine Arts, CNM to UNM Transfer Advisement, and the School of Engineering. In Fall 2021, she transitioned to a brand-new position at UNM as the Transfer Pathways Officer. In this position she collaborates with institutions outside UNM and colleagues within UNM to improve the transfer experience for students at all points in their transfer pathway to UNM and during their time at UNM. In Summer 2022, adding to her role as UNM’s Transfer Pathways Officer, she became the supervisor for UNM’s Dual Credit Program.

In Sarah’s free time she enjoys getting outdoors with her family, particularly hiking and fly fishing. One of her favorite things about being a mom is baking birthday cakes and making Halloween costumes that meet the requests/imagination of her kids.
