About Sarah

I've been a dreamer and an artist since I left the womb! As the only one in my family with an artistic calling, I've always felt I was the family outcast. I started writing and saving my stories when I was only six years old. I have always loved creating characters in fictional worlds.

Instead of pursuing a paid career as a screenwriter, I've always done it as a hobby. Writing became a way for me to manage my stress and escapism from the harshness of growing up with many life struggles such as complex trauma, PCOS, PTSD, and being someone on the spectrum (ASD).

I've written countless shorts, commercials, and screenplays but that little voice inside made me believe I wasn't good enough or smart enough to get paid to write, so, instead, I worked with animals. Fortunately, I was very successful with the alternative career choice. I've been training animal actors for twenty-one years. Many of my animals have appeared in Oscar-winning films and high-profile projects.

As I approach my mid-forties, I am circling back to my first love and greatest passion, which is writing. I've been enjoying screenwriting classes and reading screenwriting books to improve my skills to see if I have what it takes. Only time will tell! If not, I have had a blast writing all my stories so either way, it's a win-win situation!!

Unique traits: Has the unique ability to understand animal behavior and language that others cannot understand. Huge, unstoppable imagination!!
