 Before starting as a graduate student, Sarah worked as the lab manager for the UCLA Baby Lab where they examined infant cognition and perception, including her first study looking at how infants view faces from both their own race and not from their own race. This study, along with her research experiences at UC Berkeley, paved the way for her graduate studies. Growing up in a biracial family has directly affected her growing research interests, and is one of the main reasons why Sarah has chosen to study race, prejudice and stereotypes. When people meet her for the first time no one would ever suspect that she is in fact half African-American which is why she has developed such a passion for studying race and culture. She grew up in Sacramento, CA in a family of four with her mother Kathy, father Clifford, and younger brother Adam and is now living on the east coast for the first time in her life. Sarah currently resides in Cambridge, MA with her boyfriend Matt. In her free time she enjoys cooking, wine tasting, traveling, writing reviews on yelp, movies, scrapbooking, and anything else new that comes her way. Link to Sarah's CV |
