She holds art residencies through Young Audiences and the Right Brain Initiative.
Sarah is currently working on developing a television series, a series of comedic animated pieces and is an active volunteer at Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School where her two sons attend school. She dreams of someday producing her own video on youtube that will get a million hits.
