Famous for her role as Liberty Van Zandt on Degrassi: The Next Generation, Sarah also enjoys dancing, singing in the shower, globetrotting to exotic destinations, cooking gourmet meals, creative writing and hanging out with her friends. She is a theatre addict and is looking forward to going to university in a couple years. Sarah lives, was born and raised in Toronto, Canada where she is not a fan of the wintry, cold weather.
While most people recognize her as Emma Nelson from Degrassi: The Next Generation, Miriam may also be familiar to many as the "Voice of YTV". Her voice-over credits include episodes of the animated series Jojo's Circus, Ripping Friends, Cyberchase and Pecoca as well as voicing the lead in the animated series Englebert.

Alas, it is time to say goodbye to my summer blog—and to all of you who read my rants and commented consistently.
As you can probably guess from my long hiatus from writing, I have been incredibly busy. I am finishing up credits at high school, filming Degrassi and trying to enjoy myself as much as possible. I went to Colorado in August, my uncles visited in early September, and I just came back from a trip to New York to promote our upcoming season (which is going to be FULL of surprises).
New York was SO much fun! It was great to have all the cast in one place (there were about 18 of us) and be in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! New York is truly magical. It is one of those places where you just get wound up in its intensity. I’ve decided that in my lifetime, I’d like to live in each of my favourite cities: Paris, London, Barcelona, New York, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Singapore…and I’m sure the list will continue.
Anyway, I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed this experience and the interaction with all of you. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom, your encouragement and your honesty. This will not be the last of me, so keep a lookout and who knows, maybe I’ll be blogging again sooner than you think!
So, with that I say: listen to good music, spend time with good friends and enjoy the sunshine!
-Sarah B-T
P.S. Before I sign off completely, I thought I’d leave you with some songs of wisdom. This is my ultimate play list. I promise it will get you through almost everything. Enjoy! (And don’t steal music!)

Yes! I was waiting for your goodbye blog for some time now.
I wish I could have went to the Degrassi party in NYC but obviously they weren't giving away tickets to just anybody.
I think I take living in New York for granted sometimes. I love Manhattan the most. I only live about an hour away from the city but I hardly ever go there.
Thanks for the song suggestions, I'll definitely check some of those songs out. Especially Coldplay.
Well, it was nice hearing from you one last time. Only two more days until Degrassi here. I'm so excited. Your character is the one that actually got me obsessed with Degrassi. I love Liberty.
Start blogging again soon!
