Sarah had over five years of auto industry experience, working as the Assistant Service Manager at Formula Ford Lincoln, prior to joining the Allen’s Automotive team in 2017. She also has over 15 years of customer service experience and over nine years of accounting experience.

As a young child, I always enjoyed watching my father tinker in the garage and work on his and his friends automotive projects. Because of that passion, I studied Automotive Technology at Stafford Technical Center in 2015, where I learned the basics of vehicle maintenance.

During my free time, I enjoy reading and playing my guitar. My heart will always want to help people and make sure they are safe. My father would not let me drive away in something unsafe and that is why I chose Allen's Automotive, to spread that same care to our customers.

I was born in Texas but later moved to Pennsylvania. I graduated from Upper Dauphin High School in Elizabethville, PA in 2012. My family moved to VT in June of 2018. I have always had a passion for cars; my interest in cars started with working with my father on his own vehicles and then eventually on my own. On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking and woodworking. I started my career at Allen's Automotive in November of 2018. ASE Certified Technician.
