Sarah was seen in various Hallmark movies, including AT HOME IN MITFORD, alongside award-winning actress Andie MacDowell. She played supporting roles in Hallmark’s WEDDING OF DREAMS, starring Debbie Gibson, and Season Two of CBS's "Salvation."

In 2005, Sarah joined NXIVM, a personal and professional development company. Over her 12-year tenure, she went from student to coach and eventually operated her own NXIVM center in Vancouver. In 2019, Sarah published Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult that Bound My Life, with Kristine Gasbarre. In this tell-all memoir, she shares her story from the moment she takes her first seminar to her harrowing fight to get out of NXIVM, collaborate with the FBI, help others, and heal.

Sarah’s full story is featured in“The Vow,” the critically acclaimed HBO documentary series on NXIVM. Now with the launch of her own podcast, “A Little Bit Culty,” co-hosted by her husband and fellow NXIVM whistleblower Anthony “Nippy” Ames, she aims to help people understand, heal from, and avoid abusive situations, one little red flag at a time.
