Meet Nalu Babe Sarah Hubbard
Sarah Hubbard: Inspiring Confidence and Chasing Dreams
Sarah Hubbard, known to her Instagram followers as @official.sarahm, is an 18-year-old model from Maine who is making waves in the fashion world. Currently living in her home state, Sarah has captured the hearts of her followers with her ambition, creativity, and outgoing personality. As a model for Nalu Bay Swimwear, she represents a brand that empowers women, a role she cherishes deeply. “Working with Nalu Bay Swimwear gives me an amazing opportunity to work with a brand for women, by women. There truly is no better feeling than being able to rep a brand that exudes confidence and energy!” Sarah says with enthusiasm.
When Sarah isn’t modeling, she enjoys the simpler pleasures in life. Taking her dog, Malibu, for walks around town and curling up with a good mystery or romance novel are some of her favorite pastimes. She’s also dedicated to self-improvement, making every day an opportunity to grow and thrive. This blend of relaxation and determination is a testament to her balanced approach to life, even as she juggles the demands of college and modeling.
As a child, Sarah dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, a goal that undoubtedly influenced her current career path. Her creativity and ambition shine through in every project she undertakes. She draws inspiration from her first-semester math professor, Roberta, who faced a breast cancer diagnosis while continuing to teach with unwavering dedication. “Her resilience did not go unnoticed, and I can't express my gratitude for her enough,” Sarah shares, reflecting on how this experience shaped her own resolve.
Sarah’s biggest accomplishment to date is achieving a 3.93 GPA during her first semester of college while maintaining her modeling commitments. “It doesn't seem like much, but having a heavy course load mixed with scheduling shoots and castings—it's a lot to balance,” she admits. This achievement showcases her determination and ability to excel in both academics and modeling, a balance she takes pride in.
Looking ahead, Sarah has her sights set on expanding her modeling career. Having already participated in New York Fashion Week twice and collaborated with numerous photographers, she hopes to make her mark in Miami and Los Angeles. “I love being able to network with other models and entrepreneurs in fashion,” she says, eager to broaden her horizons and explore new opportunities in the industry.
In addition to her modeling achievements, Sarah has competed in six pageants, ranging from local to national levels. Interestingly, she has worn a red gown in all but one of these competitions, a choice that makes her feel confident and radiant on the runway. Her love for the spotlight and passion for self-expression are evident in every step she takes, whether on the runway or in her daily life.
Sarah’s advice for young dreamers is as inspiring as her journey: “Chase your dreams no matter how far out of reach you think they are! Every N.O. is a Next Opportunity.” Starting her modeling journey at 16, she overcame setbacks and turned her aspirations into reality. Her story is a powerful reminder that with hard work, resilience, and a positive outlook, anything is possible.
