She's received awards for her personal work from American Photographic Artists (APA-LA).
While busy with her photography work, Sari has also worked extensively as a Graphic Designer, and a Flamenco Dancer. Her ties with the Los Angeles and Spain's Flamenco Community has shifted her photography work to Stage Performances and Events work.

She has recently commissioned by The Irvine Barclay Theatre to cover their Flamenco Series.
Sari's photography work has expanded in many major categories: Editorial, Advertising, Design, and Fine Art. A self-proclaimed frustrated Art Director, she's challenged herself to work in various fields of Photography and Design. She studied at the prestigious Art Center College of Design for Photography.
She lives with her family in Los Angeles, CA.
