About Me

Hi, I’m Savannah! I'm a third-year student at Northwestern University studying Communication and Psychology, with a strong interest in strategic communication and creative marketing. I’m curious about how strong messaging, thoughtful design, and an understanding of human behavior come together to create meaningful brand experiences.

My experience spans nonprofit communications, content creation, and business development and strategy. Across all of my work, I love taking ideas and shaping them into something creative, human, and visually engaging.

Outside of work, I love dancing, being in nature, and traveling whenever I can. The creativity, movement, and exploration that inspire me in my every day life also shape how I think about communication and the kind of work I’m excited to create.
