About

Sarah Kervin is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, music educator, bandleader, voice-specialized speech-language pathologist, researcher, and corgi enthusiast.

Originally hailing from Atlanta, GA, Sarah began her career as a working musician. She studied jazz saxophone and voice at the University of South Carolina and received a master's degree in jazz studies from the University of North Texas before moving to New York, where she worked as a recording artist, bandleader, and pop singer-songwriter. Sarah served as an Assistant Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music for almost a decade, where she created a specialized education and "vocal triage" program to facilitate early intervention for young performers with voice problems.

Following a vocal injury of her own, Sarah went back to school and received her master's degree in speech-language pathology from New York University. She is currently practicing as a voice-specialized speech language pathologist and researcher at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. Her clinical interests focus on voice and upper airway disorders, specifically rehabilitating performers and providing gender-affirming voice care.

Sarah is also engaged in improving clinical care through research, including projects focused on understanding the effects of sex hormones on the voice, clinical terminology use, and the use of portable laryngeal imaging technology to expand care access. Sarah remains an active musician and performer throughout NYC.
