Sarah is passionate about helping every student discover and develop a lifelong love of making music. She has a particular interest in adaptive music education and enjoys finding creative approaches that make music accessible for students with physical disabilities and diverse learning needs.
As an active performer, Sarah plays cello with Lancaster's Celtic Band, string bass with Calvary Church's orchestra, and viola with the Hershey Symphony Orchestra. She has performed in pit orchestras for productions with Albright College, Lancaster Bible College, and Servant Stage, and has appeared as a violinist in the casts of I'll Fly Away and Fiddler on the Roof with Servant Stage.
Beyond the orchestra pit, Sarah has taught theater and produced, directed, and costumed youth productions with Veritas Academy, LEAP Homeschool Co-op, and Servant Stage. She believes every day offers a new opportunity to share God's beauty, truth, and love through the powerful gift of music and storytelling.
She attends Calvary Church.
