EDUCATION MARKETING COORDINATOR

Savannah relocated to Richmond from New Jersey six years ago to pursue her education at VCU. She majored in fashion merchandising and was a member of the Division 1 Women’s Lacrosse team. Graduating in May of 2022, she chose to remain at VCU to pursue her master’s degree in marketing, fueled by her love for Richmond.

Following her retirement from athletics, Savannah sought a new fitness routine. She discovered Niche and quickly developed a passion for pilates and its encompassing atmosphere. After joining the CET team for a few months over a year ago, Savannah felt compelled to delve further into pilates by undertaking Niche Mat Pilates Instructor Training followed by Niche Reformer Pilates Instructor Training. With her background as a lacrosse coach since high school, and a two-year captain at VCU, instructing came naturally to her. She is passionate about inspiring and helping others, aiming to empower them to feel as confident, strong, and healthy as she does through pilates.
