Sarah completed her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2016 and spent the next three years teaching various mathematics courses at a Catholic high school in New Orleans, Louisiana. Following this, she took on the role of manager at a math tutoring center in Metairie, Louisiana, where she tutored a wide range of students, from six-year-olds to college undergraduates. She eventually made her way to the west side of the country, completing her graduate studies at Boise State University. Her master’s thesis focused on algebraic K-theory, with a particular emphasis on the K₀ groups of certain rings. While Sarah's research is rooted in pure mathematics, she has a strong interest in enhancing mathematics education through virtual platforms.
