Even as a kid Sarah never shied away from an honest day's work. Early in life she could be seen selling lemonade, delivering the local newspaper, or as she got older, working at the fish plant and local summer camps. This strong work ethic continues to this day, where she works as a youth care worker and student assistant, supporting vulnerable children through therapeutic-informed practices. 

Community service has always been a core part of Sarah's life. She began volunteering in grade five and has since contributed to Winter Carnival, St. John Ambulance, triathlons, advocacy walks, and various local organizations. She is an active member on the board of the Corner Brook Status of Women’s Council and on the NL NDP Executive. 

As a single mother, Sarah understands the challenges facing working families. Before her two children were accepted into the $10-a-day childcare program, she was paying $400 per week for their care—an unsustainable burden for many parents trying to work full-time and afford the necessities of life. Believing that no one should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying their bills, Sarah is committed to advocating for real solutions that make life more affordable for families.  

With Newfoundland’s aging population, Sarah is ready to get to work delivering the proactive policies we need to improve health care, childcare, dental care, and pharmaceutical coverage. While supporting our senior citizens is key, Sarah also recognizes the need to keep young families in the region to ensure a prosperous future for all.  

Sarah understands that workers deserve a voice at the table. A proud union member with NAPE, Sarah has stood on the picket line with postal workers and campaigned to defend workers’ rights. She completed the Dale Carnegie Personal Development program and participated in the Equal Voice Campaign College to strengthen her leadership skills. On top of this, Sarah was the interim host on BayFM's The Plain Truth where she engaged in discussions on a range of issues facing the community. 

Now, Sarah is running to be the NDP’s Member of Parliament for Long Range Mountains. She wants to show her daughters that hard work and passion can create meaningful change and is committed to being a champion of the people of her community by advocating for better healthcare, fair wages, and opportunities that uplift families across the region.
