Sarah grew up just outside of Northfield, MN, and discovered her passion for medicine early on. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where her interest in dermatology began to take shape.

Following graduation, Sarah was selected to join our highly regarded Tareen Dermatology Gap Year Program—an immersive experience that played a key role in shaping her path in healthcare. Over the next three years, she worked as both a medical assistant and clinical lead at our Faribault clinic. During that time, she formed strong connections with patients and colleagues alike and became a familiar, trusted face in the community.

With the encouragement and mentorship of the Tareen team, Sarah went on to attend the Red Rocks Physician Assistant Program in Arvada, CO. Now, she’s come full circle—returning to Tareen Dermatology in Faribault as a physician assistant. She’s excited to be back with the dedicated team and community that helped launch her journey and is passionate about helping patients feel confident and cared for in their skin. Her warm, patient-centered approach is at the heart of everything she does.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find Sarah barrel racing, spending time with family and friends, or exploring new places through travel.
