Sarah Foston
Dr. Sarah (Pyke) Foston holds a PhD from Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom as well as a Master of Business Administration degree and Bachelor degrees in both Business Administration and Liberal Arts from Cape Breton University located in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. Entrepreneurship, academic impact, community involvement, extracurricular activities, and of course family have always been central to Sarah’s life.
From a young age, Sarah idolized her mother, Dr. Joanne Pyke. The two graduated with PhDs from the same university, co-authored papers and book chapters, travelled the world together, and so much more. After Joanne’s passing, Sarah was inspired to write her first children’s book in honour of her role model as a way of sharing her mom’s legacy and knowledge with the world.
As an academic and a champion of entrepreneurship & innovation, Sarah became a mom in 2024—just four months before her own mother passed—and hopes to carry forward the values, wisdom, and strength her mother so deeply instilled in her. Sarah lives on beautiful Cape Breton Island (Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada) with her sweet husband Matthew and their precious son Christopher where they enjoy lots of family time together. This one’s for you, Mom!
