She brings a vibrant passion for both math and teaching to the center, where she helps students explore the beauty and creativity of math. She loves making math fun, mesmerizing, and approachable for every student.

Sarah's favorite number is 16, but a better question to ask her is what is her favorite geometric solid? In which Sarah would respond "rhombicosidodecahedron!"

She love to connect geometry, counting, and mathematical logic to her former career in the arts.
