Sarah Jones grew up in big yet tight-knit family in Echuca on the Victorian-NSW border. Like so many Aussie kids, she was sports mad. But unlike most, her determination to forge a career in the industry she loved never waned and she dedicated herself to chasing that dream from an early age.
Her professional career began while she was still at high school, landing a project job on the Sydney Olympics with the Seven Network, which developed into a part-time job with magazine program Sportsworld while she studied at RMIT.
