Born in Squamish, but raised in Manitoba, Sarah loved spending time outdoors. She grew up riding horses for recreation, and learning to fly small airplanes. When she moved to Victoria for University, she joined the Outdoors Club and started climbing, skiing, hiking and mountaineering. In 2017, Nelson called her home and she has grown and thrived there.
Sarah is continuing her outdoor pursuits, volunteering for Nelson SAR, and getting involved in the backcountry in many different ways, including Nordic Fitness Hiking Guiding in the summer.
