BIO

Sara Kyoung Cho was born and raised in sunny, hot Mesa, Arizona. As a youth Sara did all right playing the sousaphone in marching band, was Vice President of her Speech & Debate team and was accepted into AP Studio Art. As a competitive public speaker, she was awarded both the 5A State Championship in Prose Interpretation and a varsity letter. As an artist, she was awarded Best in Show at the Arizona Young at Art Festival for her Picasso-style inspired work, what a champ.

Sara then attended Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing. During her college days she also participated in Forensics and competed nationally as a public speaker.

After college, Sara decided she had had enough of Arizona and its many golf courses and moved to Los Angeles. There she attended FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising receiving an Associate of Arts degree in Fashion Design. During her time at FIDM, Sara was involved with the Professional Designation Student Association (PDSA). Sara was also selected as Valedictorian of her graduating class speaking in front of over 12,000 guests at the Los Angeles Staples Center. 

After 7 years in Los Angeles, Sara packed her many, many bags and relocated to the Seattle area in hopes of finally experiencing weather. She did.

Now, much like the titular poltergeists from Poltergeist, she's ba-a-a-a-ack (in Arizona).

Currently, she works as a Production Project Manager for a private company located in Seattle, WA. She is also an MBA Candidate at the Carson School of Business (Global) at Washington State University scheduled to graduate in 2024. While all of this is located in Washington state, Sara is in Arizona.
