Sarah's passion for Egyptology started in childhood.  She was fortunate enough to spend consecutive summers in Egypt in the early 80s. At university, she read for a degree in History and Archaeology with the focus on ancient civilisations and their trading routes.

In the late 90s, Sarah taught in Cairo, enabling her to visit many of her favourite archaeological sites again as well as discovering new ones. Her particular interest lies with the New Kingdom, focusing on the 18th Dynasty, especially the Armana Period. She visited the site with eminent archaeologists on several occasions, and now maintains her interest through personal research, especially into the iconography found at Minya and at Tel Armana.
