Sarah has worked at both mountaintop and sea level. She has served as the Chief Meteorologist and Summit Manager for the Mount Washington Observatory at over 6,000 feet - living and working at the "Home of the World's Worst Weather." After 4 years of braving the dangerous and exciting conditions of Mount Washington, she traded in her treacherous commute up the mountain to start her broadcasting career at WVII ABC-7 in Bangor. Sarah joined the WGME13 team in the spring of 2002.
Since 2001, Sarah has served as a board member on the American Meteorological Society's Board on Women and Minorities, and was a mentor for the DataStreme course, where she trained Weather Education Resource Teachers, who promote the teaching of science, mathematics and technology using weather as a vehicle. She was recently elected to the Board of Trustees for the Mount Washington Observatory and serves on the Science Advisory Committee for the non-profit organization.
Sarah earned her degree in meteorology from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. She has been awarded the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Broadcast Seal of Approval. The AMS Broadcast Seal program ensures that Seal holders have the appropriate educational background in atmospheric science, exhibit scientific competence in their performance and employ effective communication skills.
