The Pitch Questionnaire with Altar Bridal’s Sara Hooser

Name: Sara Hooser

Occupation: Store manager at Altar Bridal and designer of my new collection of wedding gowns called “Ila Bean Bridal”

Hometown: Overland Park

Current neighborhood: Downtown Overland Park

Who or what is your sidekick? My younger sister, Emily, and my English bulldog, Lucy. Emily lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma, which is my home away from home, so Lucy is my stand-in. If I could take her everywhere with me, I would! When I get ready to leave for work, she is sitting there by the front door wishing to come with me.

What career would you choose in an alternate reality? Dog groomer. As much as I love bridal and designing wedding gowns, I would love to chill with my pup and other canines all day.
