Sarah grew up in the Midwest, living in Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin, before moving to Tucson, Arizona in 1987 when she began high school. She attended the University of Arizona and earned her Bachelor of Arts in American Literature with a minor in sociology in 1996. Her first year of law school was in San Francisco, before returning to the University of Arizona, where she graduated with a Juris Doctor decree in 1999. After graduating from law school, Sarah worked at two large law firms in Tucson, Snell & Wilmer and DeConcini McDonald Yetwin & Lacy where she worked as a civil litigator, handling commercial, real estate, tort, employment, and family law matters. Sarah met her husband Nate, a corporate attorney, while working at Snell & Wilmer in 1999. In 2003, Sarah and Nate, took a sabbatical from the practice of law to pursue a life long dream of traveling around the world for one year. They traveled by airplane, train, bus, car, boat, and camel, staying in countries such as Canada, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, Singapore, Australia, and the Cook Islands. This experience was amazing and life changing. Sarah and Nate were married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in April 2005. They have a red Boston Terrier named Ruby Dee whom they adore.
In August, 2006, Sarah opened up her own law firm, the Law Office of Sarah Wright, where she focuses her practice on commercial litigation, family law, and employment defense. Sarah also enjoys photography and writing. She is current in the process of writing a travelogue and a satire based on her life experiences. Sarah's immediate family all live in Tucson, along with an aunt and uncle and they spend time together as frequently as possible.
Sarah enjoys many outdoor activities, including running, hiking, biking, swimming, skiing, and scuba diving. She also loves to read and garden.
