She has also performed internationally in the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, India, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, France, and Singapore.

In 2004, Sarah founded Project V.O.I.C.E. and has since taught Spoken Word Poetry in classrooms and workshops all over the world, to students of all ages. Sarah was a featured speaker at the 2011 TED conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design) on "The Rediscovery of Wonder" in Long Beach, California.

Sarah's first book, B (published by the Domino Project in 2011), a short hardcover containing her titular poem entitled B, was ranked #1 bestselling poetry book on Amazon.
