Career Coaching

Doug Trapp

“Sarah knows how to brand herself, and consequently, YOU. From big-picture-thinking like figuring out your “special sauce,” to important details like creating email strategies for reaching your industry “fans.” She is organized, specific, and helps you put a plan together to understand and conquer the BUSINESS of show business.”

Doug Trapp, SAG/AFTRA/AEA Actor
Patrick Harvey

“Sarah is an expert coach with a storied career as a professional artist. But she’s more than just a cheerleader: she helps her clients discover the talented, marketable artist she sees in them. Sarah gives you permission to show up for yourself. Isn’t that something every artist needs?”

Patrick Harvey (currently appearing in Gilded Age)
Zachary Spiegel

“Just a few weeks ago, I was feeling lost, dejected, and unfocused. In such a short amount of time, Sarah has not only revitalized my passion for the entertainment industry but also, I’ve had more forward movement in my career in this short time than I’ve had all year. A perfect blend of cheerleader and drill sergeant, she will get you to where you want to be and celebrate both the risks and successes along the way.”

Zachary Spiegel, Actor and Casting Director
Patricia Noonan

“I have loved working with Sarah – she is a great coach with just the right combination of compassion, accountability, wisdom, and tough love. One of the things that sets Sarah apart is her ability to look at the whole person. Every artist – and therefore, every artistic career – is different and Sarah has the ability to meet you where you are, uncover where you want to be, and tailor her work to you in a way that is really unique. Working with Sarah has definitely helped me to navigate my way and clarify my voice as a multi-hyphenate artist.”

Patricia Noonan, Playwright, Actress
Marla

“Hi Sarah! I wanted to say “thank you” for all your coaching and wisdom this year — I’m also excited to share that I was cast in a full-length production of “Three Sisters” at Columbia University as part of their MFA directing program…I’m certain you helped me get back on my feet and moving in the right direction.”
