Born with a passion for acting, Sarah's journey began at a young age, when she was bitten by the acting bug in prep school. Her drama teacher, who caught her cutting across his lawn to avoid being late for field hockey practice, encouraged her to join the cast of "Richard III" instead, and thus began her lifelong adoration of the performing arts.
Sarah's love for acting was nurtured by her parents, who were both accomplished in their own right. Her mother, the Chairwoman of the English Department at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, CT, and her father, an accomplished painter, supported her passion for learning and the arts.
After graduating magna cum laude from Hamilton College, where she double-majored in English and Theatre, Sarah went on to study at Yale Drama school, further honing her craft and developing her natural talent. Her extensive education and experience have led to a diverse range of roles in both television and film, including appearances in "Law and Order," "Six Feet Under," "Brothers & Sisters," "Samantha Who?," "Without A Trace," "CSI: Miami," and "Bones," as well as feature films such as "Four Single Fathers" and "Falling For Grace."
In addition to her acting career, Sarah is dedicated to giving back to her community. She has lent her support to numerous causes, including the Alzheimer's Association and The Brain Project. As a host for the annual Night at Sardi's event in LA, which benefits the Alzheimer's Association, Sarah has used her platform to raise awareness and funds for this important cause.
As an ambassador for The Brain Project, Sarah is committed to raising funds through provocative works of art for Baycrest Health Sciences, a world leader in brain health and aging. Her dedication to this cause is a testament to her compassion and commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
Sarah resides on both the east and west coasts with her husband and two daughters, and travels frequently to Toronto for work. Despite her busy schedule, she remains dedicated to her craft and her philanthropic efforts, inspiring others with her talent, passion, and generosity.
