Sarah C. Doran
Class of 1987
Attended Gulf Stream School for 11 years
Current Career
I am the Group Chief Financial Officer at James River Group Holdings, Ltd.
These days, my partner and I have two young daughters who attend an independent, pre-school through eighth-grade lab, project-based school that was inspired by Duke University. Likely highly influenced by my time at GSS, we are all very involved in the school, and I serve on its Board of Trustees.
How did your years at GSS benefit you in all of your post-graduate experiences and help make you who you are today?
My experiences at GSS made a tremendous impact on who I am today, and I am grateful to my parents for always prioritizing education. GSS launched my love of learning, especially reading, writing, critical thinking, and curiosity — all of which are crucial skills for me today. My parents and the Gulf Stream School community had an extremely meaningful impact on my interest in education and community involvement, which has been a big part of my non-work life as well.
Who was your favorite teacher(s) and/or what was your favorite subject(s)?
There were too many to list, for sure, but English with Anne Gibb and David Winans, History with Ned Wilson, Latin with Mrs. Thistle, and Music with Peter Robinson are certainly top of mind.
