Biography

Savannah is a senior associate in the Orlando office, where she handles high-stakes commercial litigation matters for businesses, hospitals, higher education institutions, and individual clients. She advocates for and defends clients in complex disputes including breach of contract claims, data breach litigation, and unique one-off matters that don’t fall neatly under a single branch of law. Savannah has successfully assisted in defending appellate matters, including claims for punitive damages, data breaches, and breach of contract cases, protecting her clients from significant financial exposure.

Savannah earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Central Florida, where she focused her studies on political science, sociology, and psychology. She then attended the University of Florida Levin College of Law, graduating cum laude with Dean’s List honors. During law school, she was a member of the Florida Moot Court Team and competed in the Final Four exhibition. She also served as Vice President of the University of Florida’s Law Association for Women.
After law school, Savannah clerked for the Honorable Anne C. Conway of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in the Orlando division, gaining valuable insight into federal litigation practice.
Savannah is a fourth-generation Central Floridian and third-generation Gator with deep roots in the Orlando community.
