In her coverage, she has a passion for uplifting rising stars, and a special interest in cult-classic movies, emerging arts scenes, and all genres of music, from DIY to pop. Before Sadie joined Marie Claire in April 2024, she held positions as a Digital Music Writer at PEOPLE, the Music and Culture Editor at Alternative Press, and the Associate Culture Editor at Thrillist. In all her past experiences, she worked on both strategizing editorial plans and publishing creative pieces, including profiles of major musicians and actors, features about entertainment, and more.
