Sarah graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting from Bath Spa University and an MSc in Forensic Art from the University of Dundee. Subsequently she has worked as a researcher at various institutions researching cranio-facial reconstruction and human face recognition in relation to the general face perception field and more specifically within forensic scenarios.

Sarah is a Research Fellow in the Face Lab at the School of Art and Design, Liverpool John Moores University, and the Communications officer for the Forensic Research Institute (FORRI). Professor Caroline Wilkinson is Director of the Face Lab, a LJMU research group that carries out forensic/archaeological research and consultancy work including craniofacial analysis, facial depiction and forensic art. Sarah's research interests mainly focus on recognition of faces from facial depictions for forensic scenarios. Her PhD research entitled, ‘Facial creation: using compositing to conceal identity’, focused on ‘composite’ faces – those faces made up of features/facial parts from other faces.
