Sarah was born and raised in Fayetteville and graduated from Terry Sanford High School. She is new to the Omega staff, but she has already been a huge help and is part of our Omega Family.
Interesting fact. Sarah took gymnastic classes at Omega as a child.
Sarah is mostly in the Office, greeting you with her big smile and doing a bit of everything. She can help you register, take your payments and answer your calls, but you'll even see her supplying bandaids, face masks, and hair ties or in the lobby doing temperature checks. If you have any questions or need help with something please feel free to see her.
