Savanna has always had a passion for math and education, dreaming about becoming a teacher. She enjoyed any volunteer opportunities at her church in children ministries or at schools in the classroom. After graduating from the International Baccalaureate program in high school, she tried different avenues of career paths but finally decided towards her passions with Exceptional Student Education at Miami Dade College.
Throughout her college years, Savanna had the joy to work at Mathnasium in every role at the Tamiami location, which she enjoyed as it allowed her to be challenged in her overall math skills, ability to teach it to any student, and leadership!
