Growing up in the small hamlet of Brookhaven on Long Island, Sara was lucky to experience time in nature on a daily basis. Her father a local fisherman and her mother a lifelong gardener, she has spent countless hours on his boat in the Great South Bay, and a lot of time playing in nature with her mom.
In 1997, she graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.A. in Psychology.

Getting to know the islands and working the land together, they have both discovered a passion for planting native trees and plants to protect the natural habitat.
