After graduating, she works in animation as storyboarder and character designer, furthermore she takes part in the production of the movie Winx Club – The secret of the lost kingdom. Then she receives the opportunity to work with David Messina, author of Star Trek and Elena Casagrande, Ghost Whisperer designer. When Messina shows her “Coming home”, the Spider-Man saga by J.M. Straczynski and John Romita Jr., Sara is struck by the power of images, and she decides to deepen her knowledge about comics. A great chance arises for her in 2008 when the talent scout for Marvel Comics C.B. Cebulski comes to Italy for one of his Chester Quest (i.e. an international talent search in order to find new artists). Almost by chance, Sara decides to take part in the contest, and she stands amazed when she gets selected among twelve winners.
