Savanah’s passion for medicine began early. While completing her undergraduate studies, she worked as a nurse’s aide on a physical rehabilitation unit. This experience reinforced her desire to help others and deepened her love of science and patient care. Drawn to surgery throughout her training, she finds particular satisfaction in assisting with open abdominal surgeries and performing day-one post-operative checkups—moments that combine technical skill with direct patient connection. She believes that respect, attentive listening, and clear communication are essential for delivering high-quality healthcare and strives to treat every patient as she would want to be treated herself.

A native of Colonie, NY, Savanah is active in Breakthrough T1D, a global organization dedicated to research and advocacy for Type 1 Diabetes. Outside of medicine, she enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking, and traveling.
