A lifelong animal lover and conservation advocate, she grew up right here in Houston and has worked at the Houston Zoo and several other clinics and animal rescues.

She had planned to use this degree to follow her passion for nature photography but once she overcame her fear of needles and blood (yikes!), she knew she belonged working hands on with the animals she is so passionate about. In fact, she has a tiny zoo of her own at home: two dogs (Julia and Moose), three cats (Blueberry, Princess Peach, and Carrot), two rats (Aspen and Jasmine Plum), and a macaw (Ralphie). When she’s not working at the clinic, Sarah enjoys her free time by taking her pups to the dog park, leash training one of her cats, taking her rats on adventures to the bayou, and tending to her collection of plants and succulents.
