About Me

Hi, I'm Sarah: a writer, illustrator, yoga instructor, and former English teacher who still loves a good annotated text and a perfectly sharpened pencil.

I spent 10 years teaching middle and high school ELA in Michigan and North Carolina. While I loved the relationships and creativity that came with the job, I eventually felt it was time to take a leap and explore other passions. These days, I focus on writing Bible-based curriculum for pre-teens and teens, helping young people engage with Scripture in ways that are relatable, reflective, and real. I also continue to support English teachers by creating thoughtful, engaging lessons they can bring straight into the classroom.

I've worked with Our Written Lives LLC as an editorial assistant, helping bring a variety of book projects to life from story development to layout and cover design. It's been such a joy to collaborate with other creatives and see their work come together.

When I'm not working, you'll probably find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, practicing yoga, curled up with a good book, or planning my next trip with my husband, Victor. We share life with two dogs—Benny, our beagle mix with a big personality, and Pamela, our sweet goldendoodle.

My Christian faith is at the heart of everything I do, and I'm passionate about using my gifts to encourage and equip others, whether that's through teaching, writing, or simply showing up with a listening ear.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm really glad you're here.
