Meet Sara Jentink: a Spotlight Team Interview

Where are you from?

I am originally from Tennessee but I’ve been in North Dakota since 2005. 

Tell us a little bit about you.

I love to be outdoors with my husband, Adam, and our kids, Emma, Max, and Anna. We like to fish and camp, and in the winter, we go to Fargo Force games and ice fish. I have two Great Danes that are both a little over a year old. Xerxes is a Merle and Kaladin is a Harlequin. 

If there was a movie about your life, who would play you and why?

Margot Robbie would play me because she’s very versatile and has played characters that were both family-oriented and outdoorsy. She has a high level of energy, which would be great because my life is very busy with kids, giant dogs, and sports.

What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?

I love weekend camping trips with my family, cooking meals together, and family game nights.

What’s a ridiculous fact about yourself?

I can name every character who ever appeared in ‘The Big Bang Theory.’

What part of your position provides the most value?

Clear and transparent communication between myself and the clients, developers, and designers is the most important part of my job. Translating client expectations into actionable tasks for the development team is essential to the success of any project.

Tell us about your experience.

I’ve been a web developer in Drupal and WordPress, a marketing and social media manager, and a web development project manager so I feel like I’ve done a variety of things that help make my skill set more unique. 

What part of your job do you believe makes the most impact?

I can manage technical aspects of website development projects while keeping in mind user experience and engagement. I enjoy speaking with clients and keeping all of my projects organized and on track.

Why does our community matter to you?

Fargo is a great area to live in. There’s a strong sense of community, and the quality of life that I’m able to provide for my children makes it an ideal location. I love giving back where I can and watching Fargo grow and change over time.

What are some of your goals at Spotlight?

My goals are to ensure timely project completion every time, improve client satisfaction, help my team become as productive as they can be, and optimize project processes. I strive to manage resources effectively and ensure quality deliverables. I hope to continue to learn and grow with Spotlight for years to come.
