In the past Sarah has been, at times, a musician, songwriter, teacher and wife, but now is a single woman in her mid twenties living in Edinburgh and trying her best to cope with depression, divorce and the issue-filled mire that is single life, as well as find her way through what would appear to be a pretty epic quarter-life crisis.
Whilst she is aware that from the description above she already sounds like a pretty fucking awsome catch, she should also point out that she’s a would-be-if-she-had-more-money-and-time-and-talent professional Thai Boxer with a serious love of food but a serious need to make weight. These things are… mutually exclusive. Having previously lost 4 stone and kept it off, Sarah knows, thinks and cares far too much about weight loss, for someone with such a zealous devotion to cake. Sarah fights as often as she can, but generally only against people who’ve volunteered weeks in advance.
In addition to contact sports, she enjoys singing, playing the piano and drinking beer, which is handy because in recent times Sarah has become an Ex-Pat, moving to Berlin to try her hand again at teaching. You know, just to keep things interesting and that…
