She was born in the Mallee district of Victoria where her parents grew wheat. She studied to be a teacher in Melbourne and then headed north in the mid-1990s. Living in Camooweal, she met a retired water buffalo shooter whose stories inspired her to write Buffalo Bill, her first song.

Nine months later, she moved to Katherine in the Northern Territory, where she worked as a schoolteacher, she taught at Casuarina Street Primary School teaching Kindergarten. She then started to play at parties all over the Northern Territory.

Having been talked into entering a talent quest at Adelaide River by a friend, she won the Encouragement Award giving her automatic entry into the College of Country Music held in Tamworth two weeks before the Country Music Festival in 2000. While attending the College, she met Garth Porter, former keyboard player with Sherbet, and a producer of Australian country singers Lee Kernaghan and Gina Jeffreys.

Garth Porter was keen to produce her work and he recorded six tracks which he played to ABC Music who agreed to sign her on the spot.

Sara released her first album "Chasing Buffalo" in August/September 2000. She won the Best New Talent award at the 2001 Country Music Awards.
