By 1997, at the tender age of 8, she made her first movie appearance, although very short, in Jim Carrey’s movie Liar Liar. Over the next few years, she received other small roles on the big and small screen. [Fast fact: She auditioned, and made it to the final cut for the title role on Lizzie McGuire.] In 2000, this young actress began to receive some acclaim for her acting when she was awarded the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Comedy Series - Young Performer Age Ten or Under for her performance in an episode of the television series Working. Her first major acting gig came in 2002 in the role of Sarah Tobin in the television series Greetings from Tuscan, for which she was nominated for the 2003 Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series (Comedy or Drama) - Supporting Young Actress. Her acting talents continued to be recognized and in 2003 she as awarded another Young Artist Award for her appearance on an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Best Performance in a TV Drama Series - Guest Starring Young Actress). She received a second nomination for an appearance on another episode of CSI, CSI: Miami a year later for Best Performance in a TV Series - Guest Starring Young Actress.

She has just finished filming the movie Aquamarine about two girls (Emma Roberts and Jojo) who meet a mermaid named Aquamarine – portrayed by her. The movie is planned to be released in 2006. 2006 will also show the diversity of talent of this young star. She will be releasing a debut album entitled The Ups and Downs on Epic. However, her song, “Take A Walk” was already released on the Darcy’s Wild Life soundtrack to much praise. Sara is a “mostly” grade A student and will graduate from High School in June of 2006.
