In her free time, you can find Sarah on a local trail or hanging out by a body of water with her husband and her dog, Nori. 

Do you have any pets? What are their names?

I have a dog named Nori. She is a German Shepherd-lab mix and has very large ears! I spend much of my free time outside with her, biking, hiking, and swimming. She loves checking out every culvert we pass on walks—she’d make a good stormwater inspector! Know anyone hiring?
