She began her career at Herbert Smith Freehills, a renowned international law firm, where she trained and qualified as a solicitor.

Interests

Sarah loves spending quality time with friends and family over dinners and drinks, but tries to offset this with a healthy amount of exercise.

She also loves being by the sea or out on a river, but her favourite holidays are city breaks. She enjoys visiting the art galleries and museums, but is never happier than watching the world go by from a local cafe.
