SARAH HILLIER

Sarah is a California native who at a very young age began her trajectory in the field of agriculture raising domesticated farm animals, representing the non-profit organization Heifer International as a youth ambassador in India and Nepal, visiting registered dairies world-wide, buying bulls from renowned USA bovine breeders with her parents, working international expositions and conferences, and traveling the world to over 40 countries through professional and educational methods.

She was educated in the USA, Spain, Morocco, Jordan, and Monaco. After receiving her Bachelor’s in Political Science and International Relations with a specialization in International Agriculture and Global Environmental Issues from Iowa State University, she spent two years in the U.S. Peace Corps in rural Mongolia, where she was an English Program Manager and Instructor to children of nomadic farming families.

While maintaining an active role in El Toro, she then went on to pursue a Master of Arts in Peace and Justice Studies at the University of San Diego where she put her education into practice through her work with the Cesar Chavez Service Clubs in San Diego, California; a non-governmental organization uplifting resource deficient youth through education and the values of activist Cesar Chavez and the Farm Workers Movement, which launched in the 1960s.

To solidify a background relevant to El Toro and the growth of the ag, dairy, and beef industries, Sarah obtained a Master of Science in Business Management from the International University of Monaco. Here she actively engaged in acquiring knowledge of the international business world and is now applying essential ideals and standards for the industry through her representation of El Toro.

In pursuit of creating positive and impactful change, Sarah’s passion for peace and justice, cultures, the environmental and human rights led her to find her niche in our wonderful industry where she continues to combine her well-rounded knowledge of multiple life and business aspects and implement and highlight meaningful values to progress our industry.

Through integrity, trust, respect, diplomacy, and passion, Sarah wishes to inspire others to create an industry that is impactful and treasured, in addition to remaining relevant and influential in an exemplary manner.
