Sarah completed a fellowship in conservation at the National Museum of the American Indian (2011-2013), during this time she first came to Alaska which cemented the dream of living here. She has held textile conservation positions at National Museums Scotland, Historic Royal Palaces, Scottish Conservation Studio, and Metropolitan Museum of Art.
