With a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre & Film, minor in Religious Studies and post-graduate degree in Journalism, she brings a variety of knowledge, skills and experience to the team. After working in the education and publishing industries for several years, she decided a change was needed, and in May 2016 she joined The Salvation Army, Canada & Bermuda Headquarters.

Sarah enjoys working with the support of women, in a faith-based environment where helping others is at the forefront. Having been raised Roman Catholic, Sarah was completely new to The Salvation Army and has learned a great deal along the way. Since joining the organization, Sarah’s faith and love for Jesus has grown. She has realized the importance of having a relationship with Jesus and that He is truly listening and guiding us on our journey.

In her spare time she enjoys travelling, cooking, and spending time with her husband Alex and their two dogs Oliver and Butters.

Sarah’s message to the women in our territory would be that all women recognize that their self-worth is not determined by other people. You have a voice and you are enough.
