Educator

Sarah has taught writing in traditional university classrooms, including those at Columbia University and Princeton University, as well as non-traditional settings, like the streets of Key West on her Old Town Literary Walking Tour. 

Old Town Literary Walking Tour

When Sarah moved back to Key West in 2015, she was inspired by the seemingly endless stories of writers that have worked and lived in Key West. In conjunction with the Key West Literary Seminar, Sarah researched and founded the Old Town Literary Walking Tour, a stroll through downtown Key West, illuminating stories of writers that have called our island home. Inspired by David A. Kaufelt’s original literary walking tour, the new tour features the former homes and favorite haunts of writers, including Tennessee Williams, Shel Silverstein, Elizabeth Bishop, and Robert Frost, and highlights tales of our lesser-known local talent. The tour has been featured in Travel + Leisure, on PBS, and has a five-star rating on Tripadvisor. Book here.

Leadership Enterprise of a Diverse America

In 2015, Sarah was hired as a writing instructor for LEDA, an organization dedicated to excellence in education and closing the achievement gap for students from lower socio-economic levels. LEDA is “dedicated to helping exceptional young people overcome challenging circumstances to reach and succeed at the most selective colleges.” Sarah has spent three summers in residence at Princeton University for the program, teaching research, academic criticism and personal essay writing. She has continued to work with students remotely, seeing them through the college application process and beyond, as they have gone on to matriculate at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and many more top-tier universities.
