Sage graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina, her parents' alma mater, with a Bachelor's degree in Global Studies, a minor in International Relations, and concentrations in Global Development and Sustainability, European Studies, and Chinese Studies. Unfortunately there was no graduation ceremony due to the pandemic, so we had our own at home!

Sage graduated from the South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics with a 4.7 GPA, a scholarship to the University of South Carolina in Columbia, and some forever friends.

Sage was accepted to a boarding school for gifted students and moved into her first dorm at 15 years old. She was the editor in chief of the school newspaper. During J-term, Sage also got the opportunity to travel outside the US for the first time! She spent two weeks studying art history in Spain, France, and Italy.

Sage's favorite school! She skipped from 4th to 5th grade and joined karate.

Home to some of South Carolina's best early educators.

Sage joined a forensic science program for kids run by Converse College. While there, she found an injured bat in the grass, which we rehabilitated as a family.
