Sarah began her musical training at the University of Bristol where she specialised in contemporary composition. She then went on to study at the Royal College of Music where she focused solely on the art of screen composition which led to her obtaining an MComp in Composition for Screen in 2018.

Since then, Sarah has worked on multiple short films of which Barbeque (dir. Jenny Jokela) was nominated for a Crystal Award at Annecy International Film Festival in 2018 and later that year went on to be broadcast on Channel 4’s Random Acts Series 5. In the same year Sarah also received an Honourable Mention Award from the International Indie Gathering Film Festival for her score to the Roman Citizen Trailer.

Aside from her work as a screen Composer, Sarah also works as an Orchestrator in collaboration with the London Contemporary Orchestra. Projects have included orchestrations for Composers such as Anne Nikitin (American Animals, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann) and Jessica Jones as part of the ComposHER concert held at EartH Hackney in the summer of 2019 as well as orchestrations for recording sessions held at Abbey Road Studios.
