About Sarah

Connecting through stories, creativity, and exploration

Sarah is an author, creator, and educator whose work centers on connection, storytelling, and the quiet ways meaning is made. She writes fiction that explores grief, love, identity, and what it means to keep moving forward after loss. Her writing is drawn to the in between spaces, the moments where life is not tidy or dramatic, but deeply human.

Beyond the page, Sarah’s creative work extends into art, community, and exploration. Through hands on projects, local exploration, and reflective storytelling, she documents how creativity shows up in everyday life. Each part of her work informs the others, shaping a practice rooted in curiosity, attention, and honesty.

Sarah is also a professor and special education expert, with years of experience supporting students, families, and educators. Her background in education deeply influences her creative work, grounding it in empathy, accessibility, and the belief that stories and learning are powerful tools for understanding ourselves and one another.

She lives and works in North Carolina, where she continues to write, create, explore her local community, and follow the threads that connect story, creativity, and lived experience.
