Sarah Helleso has led the Try Pie Bakery nonprofit social enterprise alongside Megan Tensen for almost ten years. With a passion for the overlap between business and nonprofit programs, empowering young women, and seeing her community thrive, she sees so much opportunity for this model in ministry and youth development. Some of her favorite parts of this work has been dreaming with current students, cheering on Try Pie alumni, and finding ways to efficiently scale and deepen impact. Sarah graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2015 after studying business and nonprofit management. She lives just a mile away from Try Pie’s storefront in Downtown Waterloo, Iowa with her husband, Bryan, and two young daughters.
