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.
