Sarah was born and raised in the Magic Valley but moved to the Treasure Valley for college. She fell in love with the Wilder community and school district during a class at the College of Idaho, and she never left. She taught for fifteen years in middle school before moving to the fifth grade. "I'm nearly 20 years into my teaching career." Sarah loves to cook and garden, and she considers herself a bit of a nerd. Reading, language, Star Wars, and Star Trek are some of her other interests. She has two orange tabby cats named Evinrude and Rufus.
