AGE: 24 | HEIGHT: 5'9" | HOMETOWN: BRANTFORD

Raised in Brantford, Ontario, Sarah began playing the violin at three years of age and the piano at age five. As a teenager, Sarah toured across Ontario as a member of various string quartets. After graduating from the University of Toronto where she majored in Violin Performance, Sarah was admitted into grad school at York University. She is also completing an ARCT performance degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music and teaches violin and piano to children.

Sarah’s other passion is her love of animals. A regular volunteer at the Humane Society, Sarah objects to the poor treatment of animals. Many years ago, Sarah decided to become vegan, giving up the consumption of all animal products.  While the decision was a statement against the poor treatment of animals, it was also consistent with her passion for healthy living and wellness. Sarah is a fitness enthusiast who loves to stay active through running and hot yoga.

Sarah believes that competing for the crown of Miss Universe Canada will afford her the opportunity to share her passions with a much larger audience. She wants to raise support for the arts so that underprivileged children can discover the joy of playing an instrument, just as she did many years ago.  In addition, she hopes to raise awareness to the topic of animal abuse, an issue that does not receive enough mainstream attention.

Sarah’s other interests include learning new languages (she is fluent in English and French, and functional in Spanish), traveling, dancing, and reading.  Those close to Sarah will describe her as being a caring and positive person with a big heart.  Sarah is happiest when she is helping other people.
