She does this by helping students develop their writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills, while cultivating and maturing their leadership skills. Sage believes, engaging with a child it produces a positive effect, encouraging the child's self-esteem to grow. This is Sage's ultimate goal; to impact students and have them connect to a wholesome community arts program, to develop and encourage their self-esteem, and to integrate the arts into their academic career.
