Sarah began her career as a journalist in London, working as both a full-time staffer and a freelancer. Her writing appeared in Grazia, Marie Claire, New Statesman, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, and The Times Magazine, among other publications.

These days, she writes short fiction and essays about identity, culture, wellbeing, and travel for literary publications, as well as occasionally on Medium. Her writing has been shortlisted for the Pushcart Prize and the Alpine Fellowship Prize.
