She is best known for her work on Crave/Telefilm’s WILD GOAT SURF (VIFF 2023), for which she won Best Picture Editing in a Motion Picture at the 2024 Leo Awards. The film also won the Special Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature at the Oscar-qualifying deadCenter Film Festival.

Sarah’s obsession with storytelling began in the 5th grade (2001) when she used iMovie for the first time to edit a short film on the school’s old iMac. After completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies, Specialization in Film at Concordia University and the experience of editing 16mm on a Steenbeck Machine, her love for the medium was solidified — the challenge of the puzzle, the infinite decisions and possibilities behind each cut, the joy of creative collaboration and bringing the director’s vision to life.
