Sarah Diaz
Coordinator
​
Sarah has been with Mops for the past three years. She has three children ages 11, 10 and 2.
Her children often ask her why she goes to MOPS and she usually tells them “It’s because I need to learn how to be a better Mom.” They always respond, “You are a good mom! You don’t need Mops!” But she says, she knows MOPS does help her be a better Mom. Without MOPS, she would feel like a small ship floating alone in the vast ocean. MOPS is the lifeline that helps her feel connected with other moms while trying to navigate the seas of motherhood together.
​
When she is not going to MOPS, or hanging out with her kids, she is binge watching True Crime or learning a new hobby. Currently she is learning to quilt.
​
She met her husband in Richmond, Virginia and they moved to Florida in 2018. They have been married 4 years and enjoy going to amusement parks and traveling.
​
She works from home as a Laboratory application support analyst. Working from home can be isolating so she enjoys being out of the house as much as possible when it’s not working hours.
