Homeless at 15. A Hero at 30. Sabrina’s Inspiring Story of Resilience.

What would you do if you lost everything? How would you rebuild your life from the ground up?

At just 15, Sabrina Cohen-Hatton found herself homeless, sleeping on the streets of Cardiff, and struggling to survive by selling magazines. For many, such a situation might seem hopeless.

But Sabrina’s story didn’t end there. Through relentless determination and hard work, she completely turned her life around.

At 18, she saved enough money to rent her own place and pursued her ambition to join the fire service. After rigorous training, she became the first female firefighter at her station, a groundbreaking achievement in an environment where women made up only a small fraction of the workforce. Sabrina faced challenges in adapting to the male-dominated field but persevered through hard work and resilience, earning the respect of her colleagues.

While working, Sabrina pursued further education, eventually earning a PhD in behavioral neuroscience. Her research focused on decision-making under pressure, a topic inspired by her experiences in the fire service. In addition to her academic success, she authored a bestselling book, sharing insights from her life and career to inspire others.

Sabrina continued to rise through the ranks, ultimately becoming the Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Surrey Fire Brigade, a leadership position in which she oversees operations and helps shape the future of the service. Her remarkable accomplishments highlight how focus, resilience, and a clear vision can help overcome even the toughest challenges.
