In addition, she bested 400 other singers to perform at the 2003 Detroit Fireworks Celebration that was televised live on Detroit's NBC affiliate, WDIV.

She continues to pursue her passion for performing and is currently writing songs and recording her first CD. As Sarah continues her growth as an artist she observes, "I grew up listening to Martina, she is one of my sources of inspiration. When I hear one of her songs, it draws me in until she sings her last note. I hope one day someone might think of me that way." With her youthful exuberance and her love of performing, Sarah is well on her way to accomplish that goal.
