Hospitalized at twenty-one for a medley of psychiatric ailments including anorexia, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and borderline personality disorder, she was given a dismal prognosis. Aided by her innate resilience and determination, however, she defied expectations and, discharged at age twenty-three, began learning to live on her own. She subsequently graduated with honors from the New Brunswick Community College, after which she worked as a crisis counselor for at-risk youth. At age twenty-six, she gave birth to a daughter named Fallon. Sara currently plans to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology at the University of New Brunswick, where she has previously served as a guest speaker. Her triumphant struggle with anorexia has been featured in newspaper articles, and she is one of three women appearing in the film Through True Eyes: Process of Recovery from Eating Disorders, produced by Atlantic Mediaworks. |
