Sarah received her B.A. in Biochemistry, with a minor in Chemistry, from the University of Colorado Boulder and an M.S. in Forensic Science from the University of Illinois Chicago. She is a board certified Diplomate of The American Board of Forensic Toxicology (D-ABFT-FT). After the completion of her M.S., Sarah was hired by ChemaTox Laboratory, Inc. where she became the Laboratory Director and in 2009, she purchased ChemaTox. Under her leadership, ChemaTox went on to gain lab certification for High Complexity Testing through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), in addition to maintaining Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment certification for drug and alcohol testing in all four offered categories of certification and was a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registered lab for all controlled substances. Sarah and Dede Willis first met and worked together when Boulder Diagnostics, Inc. leased space and services from ChemaTox Laboratory. Through the collaboration, Boulder Diagnostics was able to have its laboratory testing operational in three months.
