Outside of work, Sarah spends as much time as possible with her spouse. They are avid travellers who enjoy meeting new people and trying new food. They are parents to one very fluffy and spoiled cat. Sarah loves nature and can often be found hiking or cycling outdoors. She also loves coffee, a good book, and yoga.
