From a young age, she learned that she needed to grab life with both hands. Her parents instilled a strong work ethic and encouraged Sarah to set high standards for herself and make the best of any opportunity that came her way.

During this time, she was often the only woman in the boardroom, and these experiences have shaped her into a strong, driven individual who wants to pass her knowledge on to others.
