Sara continued with academic and practical Drama and Film Study courses in college where her dramatic ability impressed tutors who encouraged her to train as an actress. Sara built up a unique portfolio of disciplines from various institutions and academies as well as investing thousands in private lessons, with both British and American tutors.

Sara's engaging voice and vibrant personality launched her as a presenter and voice artist on TV and radio.

Martin Pavey's highly acclaimed thriller 'Flash Back', provoked BAFTA luminaries to suggest Sara as a candidate for 'The Rising Star Award'. Written by Andy Davie, this film also marked her Hollywood debut screening. This team worked again on '15' that ran in festivals for over two years. Sara came to the attention of the British award winning Director, Ben Wheatley and she continues to be very pleased to have credits on six of his feature films, from 'Down Terrace' to Free Fire.
