Editor

Sarah Henseler is a seasoned content editor with over 30 years of experience shaping stories and sharpening language for a wide range of audiences. Currently, she uses that experience at Rocket Mortgage, where she helps demystify mortgages, real estate, and personal finance through clear, accessible, and trustworthy content.
Before joining Rocket in 2019, she built her editorial foundation at places like the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Daily Herald, and Macmillan Learning — refining her skills in journalism, digital publishing, and educational content. Whether she's editing long-form features or optimizing copy for SEO, her goal is always the same: to connect with readers and deliver value through every word. Sarah grew up in Chicago and went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sarah is a die-hard, unapologetic Cubs fan and season ticketholder since 1998. She's a dedicated follower of the Star Wars and Marvel universes, and a Springsteen fan who has traveled all over the country to see shows. When she's not working, she's usually looking for a great new taco place, getting together with friends, or planning her next trivia night outing.
