About Sarah Landrum

After spending the best three and half years of my life at Penn State, I moved to Harrisburg to pursue my career. Fast forward a few months of punching the clock and loathing cubicle life, and I chose a new path in Marketing and a side gig as a freelance writer. Passionate about career development, I started Punched Clocks to share my advice on navigating the work world and achieving happiness and success in life and at work. I am thrilled that you’re here, and I hope my advice can help you grow your career and find happiness in your work-life! Be sure to catch my attention on my blog, here, or on Twitter – I’d love to get to know you!
