Sarah was raised in Connecticut and received her B.S. and B.A. from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in upstate New York. She went on to Tufts, earning her D.V.M. in 1999, joining the staff at Little River soon after. She and her husband, Chris, live in Brooks with their sons, Adam and Owen. She spends her non-veterinary hours with her family, hiking, camping, gardening, canoeing, birding, and playing with a menagerie of dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and fish. When time allows, she and Chris work on restoring their 200-year-old farmhouse. She also makes time to mentor students, volunteer for local schools and shelters, and serve on the board of the local Montessori school.
