Sarah is a Nebraska native, born in Lincoln but now resides in Omaha. Prior to entering the animal care world, she worked as a hairstylist, but then worked a brief time at a doggie daycare which helped her discover that she could turn her love of animals into a career. She joined the team when The Ridge first opened under its new name in April of 2021 after being trained at Ridgeview Animal Hospital.

She grew up with a budgie, a type of parakeet, named Sky who lived to be 12 years old. After moving to Omaha, she lived with her aunt and uncle’s collie, Indy, and now has a German Shepherd mix named Gideon.
