Personal life

Sarah told Parade in an interview, "I think I mentioned this previously. I think people don’t realize how smart I am. And my ability to read people, perceive people, and perceive myself. I think that’s going to be hugely underestimated in me". When asked "What is something we would never know from looking at you?" in another interactive session, she said, " I have so many layers. I come off as super-sweet, but I am tough and have the biggest fighting spirit you will ever see. I am young, but I have been through some tough things in my life and have learned how to bounce back from adversity. I am incredibly tough, both mentally and physically so I'm not going to tell anyone I went to MIT and I think I will be underestimated, which I will use to my advantage. I could definitely be the final Survivor'. Her hobbies include poker, aerial skills, cooking and, baking.
