Previously, she gained a BA (Hons) Degree in History from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.
Her work has been featured on the cover of Bird Watching magazine and she contributes regularly to Country Walking magazine, alongside a regular column in her bi-monthly local publication.
Alongside her writing practice, Sarah offers in-person guided walks, talks and workshops in coastal and woodland settings, weaving together nature writing, deep noticing and place-based reflection.
