She grew up with a younger brother and a younger sister, and rode horses competitively from a young age, actively participating in weekend competitions. Her early life in Los Angeles and her involvement in school plays fostered an interest in acting, though her parents encouraged her to wait until she was older to pursue it professionally.

These early roles laid the foundation for her career in both comedic and dramatic productions.

Her career progressed with significant film roles, including portraying Brooke Shy in ‘Neighbors’ (2014) alongside Zac Efron, which earned her an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Kiss. In 2015, Sage featured in ‘Paper Towns’ as Lacey Pemberton, ‘Goosebumps’, and ‘Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse’. She continued to expand her filmography with ‘Before I Fall’ (2017), ‘The Last Summer’ (2019), and a cameo as Dazzler in ‘Dark Phoenix’ (2019). On television, she gained recognition as Alara Kitan in ‘The Orville’ (2017–2019) and later as Ainsley Whitly in ‘Prodigal Son’ (2019–2021).
