Discovered by a London model agency at 15, Sarah quickly rose to fame in high fashion, appearing on the covers of Harpers and Vogue and fronting major campaigns.

She has also consulted for brands such as Ennismore group, Farmstand restaurant, and The GoodLife, and worked with Netflix.
Sarah openly discusses her struggles in the modelling industry, highlighting the lack of nutritional guidance. The Be Well Collective has positively impacted thousands through education summits, workshops, mentoring, and online resources. Her TEDx talk, "Are models, role models?" showcased her skills as a public speaker on physical and mental health.
