Stop motion animation kick-started Sara's love for film. She created her first stop motion animation on the app Musical.ly (now TikTok) with Barbie dolls around ten years ago. As time passed, her animations varied from shipwrecked planes to Lego westerns to promoting a local car dealership. Her biggest stop motion animation came out in December of 2023 with "Elf Off the Shelf". It's since won multiple awards at local festivals. 

She learned basic filmmaking skills during high school, which led her to join the film program at a local community college. During her time in the program, she got to learn and experience working on real sets. A couple of highlights include producing and light designing season 3 of the show "Rhythm Lounge", which will premiere on her local PBS/NPR station, and representing her school by leading a team for the 2025 College 48 Hour Film Project. That film, "Obsession", has also been awarded at local festivals and is now on Youtube. Sara is currently preparing to represent her school in the 2026 College 48 before she graduates in the spring. 

When she isn't animating or focusing on school. Sara works with several local film groups, but most notably Phase 3 Films. Her more notable roles include director, assistant director, 1st and 2nd AC, and sound mixer. She's also an intern at the aforementioned PBS/NPR station, where's she's experiencing all sides of the company. 

Sara was bitten by the performing bug at three years old when she started taking dance classes with annual recitals. She continued dancing until the age of sixteen, but has occasionally taken dance classes to keep the passion alive. She's the most experienced in jazz dance, but is familiar with ballet, musical theater, and Polynesian dance. 

She was an active participant in her high school's theatre department, and was the Thespian President of Troupe 960 during her senior year. Her more notable roles include Mrs. Peacock in "Clue" and Snoopy in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". She also won awards for her roles in "YAGMCB" and "Newsies". 

Once she entered college, she transitioned from stage acting to screen acting. She acted in small college projects and used those as a way to learn how to act in front of the camera. Sara got her first big role in 2023 as part of that year's Inland Empire 48 Hour Film Project. Since then, her more notable roles include Young Zelda in Phase 3's "BloodStreet", and Detective Morgan in "Missing". Sara has acted in multiple 48 Hour Projects and other local indie projects, and hopes to act more often in the upcoming years.
