She joined the MedStar team following graduation from the Harvard Interprofessional Palliative Care Fellowship at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. She completed her bachelors and masters in nursing at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Before starting her fellowship, Sarah worked as a hospice nurse and then as a nurse practitioner providing home-based primary care; her passion for Palliative Care grew out of these experiences. In addition to clinical care, she has an on-going interest in education which stems from her work with Teach for America prior to becoming a nurse.
