Sage began her training in Taekwondo after 15 years of competitive dance.  It's because of this background that she brings strong quality, discipline, and artistry into her martial arts practice.  She has competed in both Kyorugi and Poomsae, with a passion for Poomsae.  Taekwondo has played a major role in her personal growth, helping her build confidence and a healthier relationship with her body and self -esteem.

After high school, Sage attended the University of Saskatchewan for Engineering Physics while continuing martial arts and strength training.  During this time, she realized her passion lies in teaching and working with people through movement.  She is currently pursing instruction in both Taekwondo and dance and is passionate about helping others grow in a supportive but challenging environment.  She believes every students journey is unique and aims to foster growth, confidence, and enjoyment in training.  she is constantly striving to improve her own abilities and qualifications, with a long-term dream of competing at a national or international level.
