A graduate of Benton High School, Sarah is a St. Joseph Native. She and her sister and brother grew up in St. Joseph and enjoyed every minute of it. When her career in broadcasting presented her the opportunity to work close to home and near family, Sarah was ecstatic to be a part of the St. Joe Now team. Sarah's career began shortly after graduating from Pennsylvania State University in State College. She worked for KQTV in St. Joseph where she assumed the responsibilities as a reporter. From time to time, Sarah filled in as the weekend anchor and producer. From there, she worked for KSHB in Kansas City, Missouri where she worked in the Production Department. While working in Kansas City, it didn't take long for Sarah to realize what she missed the most; her family and her hometown. When a reporter position became available at St. Joe Now, Sarah pursued the position and was thrilled to get the job. Sarah's favorite part about the job is learning more about the community she grew up in and meeting new faces on a daily basis. "I have such a passion for reporting because everyday is different", Sarah said. "I am given the opportunity to listen to people's stories, ideas, thoughts and concerns. Working as a reporter not only allows me to be involved in the community, it allows me to report what the public needs to know, and to me, that's extremely important." Off the news set, Sarah enjoys running, going to the gym, playing sports, socializing with friends and spending time with her family.
