A junior in college at Minnesota State University, Mankato, she is studying psychology with a minor in child development and family studies. Her dream job is to be a child and family therapist and help counsel children with troubled home lives.
Her passion for children’s mental health stems from close family and friends’ personal mental health issues and is personally dedicated to Girls on the Run, an organization designed to help young women recognize what they’re capable of and learn life lessons such as teamwork and leadership skills.
Sarah enjoys golfing, running, camping, being active, and one of her favorite ways to enjoy the great Minnesota outdoors, she also enjoys fishing with her friends and family. Some of her favorite childhood memories include horseback riding and competition dancing including jazz, tap, and lyrical.
The on-stage moments, the tension of the final two and the glory of the crowning, here are Sarah’s state pageant photos.
Lights, camera, action! Professional photoshoots are one of the perks that comes from winning a title.
Sarah is one of only a small group of state winners who have won a Miss title immediately after placing as a runner-up in the Teen pageant. She was third runner-up to Ava Ernst at Miss Minnesota Teen USA 2022 and was a semi-finalist in 2021.
All beautiful things must come to an end, no matter how bittersweet. See Sarah’s farewell walk and other candids from the weekend she crowned her successor Muna Ali as Miss Minnesota USA 2024.
