Sarah’s acting career began right here at SRJC at age 12, when a bold first audition led to her debut performance in a musical. She survived, thrived, and graduated with honors from UC Irvine before earning her MFA in Dramatic Arts from the University of Connecticut.

 

Along the way, she racked up back-to-back BroadwayWorld Regional nominations and four consecutive nominations for Principal Performer in a Musical from the San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle for her portrayals of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Peter in Peter Pan, Jo March in Little Women, and received the award for playing Vanessa in In the Heights. More recently, she directed SRJC’s production of Ride the Cyclone, which won Outstanding Collegiate Production at the 2026 NorBay Theatre Awards.

 

With over a decade of teaching experience, Sarah has mentored everyone from individual actors to roomfuls of 300+ university students. When she’s not on stage or in the rehearsal room, she's out adventuring with partner and their amazing daughter.
