Sarah is an associate attorney with Gardner Smith & Vaughan. Before joining the firm, Sarah worked exclusively on cases involving family violence, child abuse, and child neglect, and has a unique understanding of the lasting impact trauma can have on families. As a fierce advocate, one of Sarah’s primary goals is to help clients feel informed and empowered as they navigate the legal system.

Shortly after 9/11, Sarah joined the United States Marine Corps where she served a four-year enlistment. After her honorable discharge, Sarah returned home and received her bachelor’s degree from Southern Methodist University. Sarah earned her law degree from Texas A&M School of Law, where she was a Texas Access to Justice Foundation Fellow and served as a staff member for the Texas A&M Journal of Property Law. Since graduation, Sarah has returned to A&M Law as an adjunct professor.

Sarah enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, their rescue dogs, and Margarita the axolotl. In her free time, Sarah can be found attending productions at Bass Hall and local community theatres, and training for her next marathon.
