Sarah and her husband are originally from Lincoln but have resided in the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the past 7 and a half years. They loved living on the beach and the simplicity of life there, but when they vacationed it always seemed to be to Lincoln, NE. Sarah and her husband have two children Owen (3) and Oakley (18 months). They also have two dogs: Hurley (Black Lab/Border Collie mix) and Ridge (Black German Shepherd). Sarah was a permanency planning worker in the Outer Banks in the Child Protective Services Unit for the past 5 years. Prior to that, Sarah worked in the Lincoln DHHS office as a ongoing and adoption worker. In Sarah's spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband and kids, traveling, and going on adventures both near and far.
