Sarah was appointed to the Board of Directors in 2023. Sarah has lived and worked in Ireland since 2000. Sarah’s career has always revolved around teaching and the arts. Sarah was a Class teacher in St Brigid’s School for fifteen years. During which time, she proved herself to be an innovative, trusted, valued, reliable and conscientious teacher who earned the respect of staff, parents, and students alike. She moved onto work for the Department of Education and Skills designing and leading a national professional development course for teachers and students of Junior Cycle. She then returned to St Mary’s special school as Principal for two years before taking a leap into the arts as a fulltime self-employed drama facilitator. Sarah is also a visiting lecturer for first year PME students in Maynooth University. Sarah has had a passion for the arts since a very young age and loves to get involved herself (whenever she can.) Her support towards the Arts Centre and the programme it offers to the Westmeath Community is immeasurable. Sarah is welcomed to the Board for her skills and knowledge in youth arts and arts education.
