Sandra graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Southern Queensland in 2005, and graduated with a Master of Philosophy degree from Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University in 2009. The topic of her research thesis was Frameworks of culturally engaged community music practice for rural Ipswich, Australia.

In 2003, Sandra collaborated with people from her local community to establish the Purga Music Museum in Ipswich. In 2006, she completed a scoping study of community music in rural Ipswich that resulted in formulation of a Music Action Plan for Ipswich.

In 2008, Sandra was commissioned to research and write a book about the 100 year history of the Ipswich Thistle Pipe Band, called Turn of the Century: Ipswich Thistle Pipe Band 1909-2009, which is available through the ITPB website. (www.ipswichthistle.com).
