Sarah began her musical career as a clarinetist in elementary school but through high school and college expanded her instrumental repertoire to include the saxophone, violin, and percussion. She studied and performed under Dr. Keith Preston, Michael Sullivan, Dr. Stephen Hemphill and Dan Smithiger.

After moving to Idaho, she served as Assistant Director and Administrator for Troopercussion Indoor for 3 years and has been the Co-Director of North Star Independent since 20 17. This past year, she took North Star Independent to WGI World Championships where the ensemble earned a top 10 finish in the Independent A division.
