Sara has a solid background in the field of education, and a deep interest in language development and multilingualism. Raised in Madrid, she became familiar with two languages from an early age, as her mother is Australian and she attended the American School of Madrid (ASM) from the age of 3 to 18. In this environment, English was both the academic and social language, allowing her to master both languages.

She graduated in Psychology from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2011, specializing in Educational Psychology. Sara has dedicated over 12 years of her professional life to the educational sector in international contexts. Her most relevant work experience began at English for Fun, an American learning center that included an Early Childhood Education program, after school activities, and urban camps for children. During her time there, Sara served as director, counselor, and educator in all programs. Years later, she became SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) at IE University, and school counselor at different British schools. These experiences have enabled her to help her patients overcome the academic demands of international schools. Sara views difficulties (such as dyslexia, language disorders, attention or auditory processing difficulties) not only from a clinical perspective but also through an educational approach.

Throughout her career, Sara has observed firsthand the significant impact that communication, speech, and/or language difficulties can have on various areas of children’s lives, including their social and family relationships, learning, behavior, and self-esteem. This led her to pursue a degree in Speech and Language Therapy through the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya in 2021. For her undergraduate thesis, she wrote a clinical guideline to improve the diagnostic process of Developmental Language Disorder in bilingual children. Her interest and experience with multilingualism have also led her to conduct workshops on this topic, as well as giving formal advice to parents who are interested in raising their children in multiple languages.

Sara also applies her knowledge and experience in her daily life as a mother of two young children, whom she speaks to in English, while her husband uses Spanish. Currently, in addition to her clinical work, she serves as a counselor at Kings Infant School Chamartín, where she continues to support the holistic development of her students.
