Born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Sally has been inspired throughout the years by the work of Puerto Rican composer and lyricist, Rafael Hernandez, known affectionately as "el jibarito," and considered to be a true patriot of the Puerto Rican culture. Sally has a classical singing background, and her music covers the range from opera to folk music. Sally was drawn into the latin jazz scene by a friend who introduced her to Antonio Carlos Jobim. She then further pursued her interest in latin standards to reclaim her roots.

Sally has performed as a singer in venues throughout Los Angeles such as Ca' del Sol, Monteleone's, and the Monsoon Café, and with various musical groups from the Wolverines in Minneapolis to Art Decco in Los Angeles. She is also a regular performer every holiday season with Diane Burt's The Caroling Company.

Sally is also an accomplished actress. Television credits include shows such as The Young and The Restless, the PBS series American Family, with James Edward Olmos, Hang Time, Arrest & Trial, Alright Already, and PAX TV's It's a Miracle. Stage credits include off-off Broadway, the Guthrie Theater (Minneapolis) and the Goodman Theater (Chicago).
