She then moved into private practice as a legal assistant and, later, an associate at private firm in downtown Spokane. During law school, Sarah maximized her opportunity to gain hands-on experience and found a way to help those who could not afford legal services by serving as a student attorney at Gonzaga's University Legal Assistance, a free legal clinic, in both the Tax and General Practice Sections. She was honored to serve as Interim Co-Director of the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic at Gonzaga University School of Law for three terms from Summer 2018 to Spring 2019.

Prior to law school, Sarah worked in a variety of fields including food service, youth education and recreation, and as an administrative assistant for the State of Idaho. She has always had a passion for helping people, especially the under-served members of her community. Sarah incorporates her values and mission of service to others into her legal practice.
