Sarah has been working with children in a variety of settings for the past ten years, and has taught 6th and 7th Grade English Language Arts and Special Education in Brooklyn for the last four. She loves teaching adolescents to read and write because she believes it's one of the best tools to help them understand the world around them, and ultimately to understand themselves as they grow and change into the people they want to be.

Sarah has a B.A. in Sociology and Women Studies from Vassar College, a M.A. in Adolescent Special Education from Long Island University, and is currently a student at Bank Street School of Education where she is working towards her second M.A. in School Leadership. Sarah is so excited to be joining the Lyons team this year. She has helped hundreds of students find books they love and write pieces they are proud of, and she can't wait to begin that journey with her classes at Lyons. When she's not reading, writing, or teaching, you can find Sarah BBQ'ing in her backyard, walking around the lake in Prospect Park, or traveling through all parts of Latin America.
