Sarah Thomas changed football when she became the first female NFL official. Now she is inspiring others to dream big and believe anything is possible. No stranger to breaking gender barriers, she was the first female official to ever work a major college football game, to officiate a bowl game and to officiate in a Big Ten stadium. Sarah embodies the notion that with a belief in self, inner drive, hard work, preparation and a mindset of being the best you can be, no barrier or ceiling is impenetrable.
