About Sage Maroon

Hello! In April 2025, I received my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership - Higher Education Student Affairs at Eastern Michigan University. I am working towards a career as an advocate for college students. My goal is to create a space where students can open up about their goals and struggles. I want to provide them with the resources and support they need to have an enjoyable and successful college career. Prior to graduating with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, I was a nursing student. When I realized it was not the right job for me, I did not know what to do next. I wanted to help people, but did not know the best way for me to do so. I reached out to an academic advisor and a career coach. They inspired me to pursue a career in higher education. With my organizational skills and attention to detail, I realized it would be the perfect fit. I had the amazing opportunity to work as an academic advisor at Eastern Michigan University's Honors College, an intern at Oakland University's Gender and Sexuality Center, and a Career Development Services Graduate Assistant at the University Advising and Career Development Center at Eastern Michigan University. Additionally, I served as the secretary for EMU's HESA Organization for two years, and I am a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success.
