Music has always been an integral part of Sarah’s life. She began playing piano at age 4 when her grandmother, a church organist, sat Sarah down at her baby grand and showed her middle C. Sarah studied piano throughout her childhood, high school, and college, earning her B.A. in music from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN. During her junior year abroad, Sarah studied piano performance and furthered her study of German in Vienna, Austria.

Upon college graduation, Sarah attended the University of San Diego School of Law, earning her J.D. in 1989. She returned to Europe shortly thereafter to study European Community International Trade Law at the Europa Institut in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, earning her L.L.M. in 1991. After practicing law in Los Angeles, Sarah decided her heart would be happier as a teacher; she earned her teaching credential from California Lutheran University in 1996 and has been teaching ever since. She feels extremely fortunate to be the wife of Wyant and mother of Sam and Hannah.

In addition to her passion for piano, Sarah has always had a love of singing and choral music. She has sung in choirs throughout her life and is thrilled to be a member of Areté Vocal Ensemble.
