saraCelebrated TV personality, Sarah Hassan, popularly known as Tanya will no longer be gracing our television screens. The Discovery +254 co-host and former Tahidi High actress has relocated to Los Angeles, USA  to start a new chapter in her life.
Through her website, Sarah revealed that she got admitted to her dream film school, New York Film Academy, where she will be pursuing her studies.
“Immediately I started to work, I started saving up for school fees and two years ago, I started filling out my application. Every other day I used to look at my application and work harder. Early last year my fiancé, who was my boyfriend then encouraged me to send in my application and I got accepted(YAAAAAAAYYY), I wouldn’t have been able to get this far without my mum, dad and my entire family who have always been there for me, supporting me every step of the way, not forgetting my closest friends, yes… you know who you are,” she wrote.
Her fiance, Martin Dale, who has played a huge role in Sarah’s resolve to pursue her studies will also be accompanying her to L.A.
“To top it off when Martin, the love of my life, the amazing man who has supported me in everything I do, asked me to marry him, he also surprised me by getting two tickets to L.A, his and mine, he decided to move with me as I study and try to pursue my dream and I love him more for that.”
Describing the new chapter of her life as scary, Sarah says that she is hoping for the best.
“It is a scary, exciting dream. A new chapter in my life and I am so grateful to God for everything he has blessed me with so far. 2015 was an amazing year, winning Best Host for Discovery +254 at the Kalasha awards, walking away with best journalist of the year at the Swahili Fashion week, getting to work with the amazing Jokate Mwegelo from Tanzania on Maisha Max, the love of my life Mr. Martin Dale, proposing to me, and getting accepted to the prestigious New York Film Academy.
So here I am, in L.A, about to begin this amazing journey, hoping for the best as I go back to school to study what I love.”
