Charter Support

Sarah gained considerable experience in the Media industry from co-ordinating filming shoots for various documentary programmes and all other aspects of production, ensuring travel, accommodation, and hospitality was provided efficiently for both the crew and the talent involved.

She then went on to work for a digital agency producing digital campaigns for Disney International and managed the distribution of various online advertising campaigns for the latest Disney films to 22 different countries around the world.

In 2010, Sarah decided to have a change of career and transferred her co-ordinating and management skills into the education sector and trained to become a primary school teacher. Her passion and drive to deliver a fun and engaging education to the children led her to become an outstanding teacher and most recently, following the birth of her daughter, she has moved to tutoring children online which has enabled her to combine this with assisting Aquazeal in a Charter Support role.
