Born and bred in Durban, Savannah was thrilled to hear that her entry had been adjudged the winner amongst stiff competition that included some excellent submissions.
Savannah spent her childhood years actively participating in a sporting, cultural and community activity.
Some of her defining moments was being the Mayor of the Durban Youth Council in 2013 and head girl of St. Henry’s Marist College in 2014.
After matriculating, she moved down to Cape Town and completed her first degree in a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Politics, Economics and Philosophy before starting her Law degree in 2017.
After she graduates, she has planned to do her articles at a top law firm in Johannesburg but has dreams beyond a career in Law.
She describes herself as a humanitarian, an innovative thinker and a dream creator.
Her passion lies in development and helping others seek opportunities to excel.
An ambitious, proudly South African woman fostering a career path that embodies the notion that ‘service to humanity is the best work of life’, she entered the competition because she loves to learn and experience things out of her comfort zone and she enjoyed the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate so much she needed to capture it visually again and put it into words.
