She has produced various programmes for BBC Radio 4, the BBC World Service and 5Live and prior to that worked as a radio producer for Radio 2GB in Sydney and Blue Danube Radio in Vienna.  For example, in 2023, she produced a half hour programme entitled “The Science of the Menopause” for the BBC World Service.

In 2013, Sarah founded the Media Hub, a networking group for freelance media professionals. It has attracted a diverse range of guest speakers over the years, including a former prime minister, a Belgian princess, one of Africa’s leading gorilla vets and an ex-prisoner, who set up a lingerie social enterprise.

With a lifelong love of travel, different cultures and languages, Sarah is also passionate about international development.

She set up the charity’s ambassadors’ programme in the UK and a friendship link between her sons’ school and Gende Tesfa School in Ethiopia.

Sarah also has first-hand experience of neurodiversity and has sought to offer peer support to other families locally in a similar position.
