[b]Background[/b] 

[indent]The daughter of an Afrikaner father and a Zulu mother, Sarah's family fled to England before she's old enough remember. Her childhood is lonely, never fitting in with peers and frequently left home by busy parents. Though she is noted as smart and hard-working, some say she has a "violent passion". Sarah earned her PhD in Neuroscience at the age of 25. Studying the effect of isolation on brain chemistry took her back to South Africa, where she became known in the University of Cape Town for her unconventional experiments, and harassing students and fellow faculty members. Eventually fired for pepper spraying a colleague, Sarah took on private consulting until someone connected her to a multinational expedition. They hired her as the winter director of STAB because of her experiences in leading scientific projects (and no one else wants to be stuck near the South Pole for three months). For Sarah, there's no better place to observe isolation.[/indent]
