Sarah Christin Roemer was born on August 28, 1984, in San Diego, California. A native of the popular beach community, Coronado, Roemer got her first break at 15 during a coffee stop at 7-Eleven. A model agency owner asked her if she had considered modeling before and Roemer and her parents took him up on the offer.
Two years after her initial stroke of luck, Sarah Roemer moved to New York and later to Los Angeles to further her career chances. She signed on with a pair of agencies, L.A. Models and The Fashion Model Management in Milan, which allowed her to take on modeling assignments in North American and abroad. Roemer's modeling highlights included ads for Sonia Rykiel and a magazine cover for Sportswear International in 2004.

In 2004, Sarah Roemer's coffee habit led to another show business connection. A talent agent approached her -- this time to ask if she was interested in trying acting. An enthusiastic Roemer was game for the challenge, but it wasn’t exactly a Disney-style beginning. In 2006, she made her big-screen debut in Wristcutters: A Love Story, a film that followed suicidal people beyond death. Later that year, Roemer landed a key role in the high-profile horror sequel The Grudge 2. In it, she played Lacey, a Chicago teen who’s terrorized by a vengeful spirit.
Sarah Roemer's role in 2007's Disturbia marked a professional turning point for her. She played Ashley, the girl next door who captures the attention of the delinquent Cale (Shia LaBeouf). The teen thriller racked up an impressive $117 million in worldwide box office sales and gave Roemer a prime role opposite one of Hollywood's most promising young stars.

The success of Disturbia led to a pair of starring roles in 2008 films for Sarah Roemer. The first was The Golden Door, in which she played an apartment dweller who hooks up with a handsome doorman (Joseph Cross). The second was Asylum, which saw her as a student living in a haunted dwelling that was once an insane asylum.
In 2009, Sarah Roemer made her first foray into on-screen cheerleading alongside Molly Sims, AnnaLynne McCord and Danneel Harris in the sexy comedy, Fired Up. Two films remain on her slate for the year. Hachiko: A Dog's Story casts Roemer in a supporting role opposite Richard Gere, while Waking Madison has her acting with Elisabeth Shue and Taryn Manning. The latter film might be Roemer's most intense film yet. In the title role, Roemer plays a mentally unstable woman with multiple personalities who explores an experimental treatment by locking herself in a suite for a month. But if you have multiple personalities, you're never really alone, right?
