Lima, Sarah: - Sarah Lima grew up in Lombard, Illinois but has resided at different periods of her life in Bloomington, Indiana, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Athens, Greece, Tirana, Albania, and Cincinnati, Ohio.

She trained as a classicist and archaeologist, and authored several academic publications as a result of her graduate research in the field of Albanian and Aegean prehistory. Lima now leads business development of natural history, history, and children's exhibits at Cincinnati Museum Center, a historic train station and museum in Ohio.
