Who I Am

At Next Level Narratives, I am passionate about open knowledge sharing. My goal is to bring awareness to those who wish to pursue higher education through motivational speaking. I hope to empower students to navigate the community college experience. I want to help individuals thrive in their academic, professional, and personal journeys.

Created by Sarah Thomas, a first-generation college student who comes from a socio-economically disadvantaged background. Attending community college and exceeding expectations when I transferred to the University of California, Berkeley as a student parent and community college graduate. I bring firsthand experience, insights, and practical advice to first-generation students, parents, or anyone seeking guidance through college and beyond. I also provide a range of freelance services, working as a jack-of-all-trades. I specialize in photography, motivational speaking, and voiceover work.

I believe in equality, transparency, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. I am here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for academic support, professional guidance, or need a motivational speaker for your next event, you’ve come to the right place.
