She graduated from UW-Madison in 2001 with a BS in Bacteriology, and in 2006 she graduated from Northwestern University with a MD. While in medical school, Sara worked with a community-based agency serving children and families in Chicago's housing projects, including work with a parent-run preschool program as a 2002-2003 Schweitzer Urban Fellow. This work with families in Chicago's housing projects was very influential in forming her interest in public health.

She is also currently working on her Field Experience project for the MPH program.
