After completing high school, she went off to pursue a degree in sociology at the University of Illinois where she met her lifelong friends in Alpha Omega pre sorority “AOπ” During those high school and college years, Sara found her voice and could be seen using it to the fullest in numerous choirs, most notably Apollo in chorus in Chicago which dates all the way back to 1872. Sara didn’t just sing for them, she also became a member of the board. Later on, Sara would go on to sing at the May festival in Cincinnati for four years and after she went to sing for the Bach Society of Dayton for 11 years.
