Why the name Atomic Wombat?
The company name pays homage to the company owner’s 1) love for the services the company provides, and 2) her place of birth.
1. Atomic is in reference to energy, passion, fun, and pure enjoyment that this work brings to Sara Deaton and that she brings to the work. Sara agrees with Andrew Carnegie who said “My heart is in the work.”
2. Sara Deaton was born in Sydney, Australia to US Diplomatic parents. She is a US citizen who has lived in many countries. The amazing beauty of the animals in Australia have always captured her heart. The Wombat is her favorite, as Sara can’t see one without breaking into a smile.
