She enjoys gardening, cooking, traveling, and learning bluegrass guitar.It is an axiom in business that the more mundane the job, the more grandiose the title. Sarah is an avid fan of “football,” as she played varsity football (aka soccer) for Yale and Cambridge, winning her varsity blue and leading Cambridge to a 4-0 defeat of Oxford in the Varsity Match in 2005 with two goals and two assists. She has given 150 talks to a range of audiences worldwide. Her research has been featured in two major international BBC-Discovery Chanel Documentaries, 'Egypt: What Lies Beneath” and 'Rome's Lost Empire.' Sarah has worked with NASA and the US State Department, and has collaborators across the globe. She is also interviewed regularly for national print media ( Science, Nature, National Geographic, CNN, BBC).

She is regularly invited to give papers at national and international conferences and symposia. Sarah has written the first textbook on the field of satellite archaeology, Satellite Remote Sensing for Archaeology, and has published numerous peer reviewed scientific papers. Sarah and her husband, Egyptologist Greg Mumford, work together on the Surveys and Excavation Projects in Egypt, which includes archaeological projects in the Delta, Sinai, and pyramid fields regions of Egypt.
