She models and reimagines Kingdom living by re-centering the marginalized and amplifying the voices of those whose narratives enrich our understanding of the gospel. Sandra’s commitment to justice on a global-scale has brought her to lead as a board member for Evangelicals for Justice and the Christian Community Development Association, and take a leading role in embodying justice in worship for the IFES World Assembly in Mexico (2015), Lausanne Younger Leaders Gathering in Jarkarta (2016), and Global Gathering in South Africa (2018).

Her fifteen years with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, serving as Director of Worship for the Urbana Missions Conference, Chicago Urban Program Director, Latino National Leadership Team (LaFe), and Northwestern University Team leader (Multiethnic fellowship) also catalyzed thousands of young adults to practice God’s mission of reconciliation and justice.

Sandra holds a Masters of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is a Doctoral Candidate at North Park Seminary. Her teaching has also been featured at Wheaton College, North Park University, Liberating Evangelicalism Conference, The Justice Conference, Evangelical Covenant conferences, Willow Creek Association conferences, and various churches. Her most recent books include Rally: Communal Prayers for the Lovers of Jesus and Justice, A Rhythm of Prayer, Still Evangelical, and The Next Worship.
