Sara was born in Chicago, Illinois, and quickly relocated to Calabasas, California at the young age of two. She knew early in life that she wanted to be an entertainer. Whether she was dancing, singing, or acting, she really just loved to perform.

Bronson always believed in education first. Before she allowed herself to pursue a career in entertainment, she earned a bachelor's degree in communications and entertainment studies from Cal State Fullerton. In college, she was very active, adding musical theater to her long list of hobbies. These hobbies eventually grew into a full-time job.
