At her production company Monster & Bear, Sarah often finds herself at the helm of concept ideation, strategic thinking, and putting pen to paper for the scripting of commercial concepts. Her clients include the likes of Berocca, Visit Victoria, Disney, SBS, Peroni, Klook, MyConnect, KidSafe and Etsy to name a few.

Sarah’s versatility in voiceover work has been described as authentic, empathetic and humoured across a wide range of genres. Bringing with her to every recording, Sarah brings the heart of a writer, and a passion for connecting with words, regardless of whether the intention is to inform, inspire laughter, tug on the heart strings, or just tell it as it is.
-
Sarah has a slate of projects in development, with a majority focus on concepts that toe the line of comedy and drama within circumstances of absurdity. A keen people watcher, and follower of world events and evolutions, Sarah aims to weave hints of social commentary through her works, or to normalise taboo conversations, whatever they may be.
-
Having written for shortform, longform, advertising and educational content, Sarah has a knack for being a format chameleon. Having run writing workshops, brainstorms and contributing to series level writer’s rooms, Sarah loves taking the energy of what’s explored in the room, and sustaining that on the page.
