Savannah started taking dance lessons at the age of five. She realized she loved tumbling a lot more and began regular gymnastics classes at six years old. She did one year of recreational classes and was then invited to join the team. Savannah began her career with Cabarrus County Gymnastics in Concord, NC. Her family has moved several times so she also attended Stanly County Gymnastics and Lake Norman Gymnastics before finding her forever gym at Everest Gymnastics Training Center.

In 2018, Savannah placed in the top ten in the all-around with a 37.450 at the Level 8 State Championships. At the Region 8 Championships, she placed eighth in the all-around, second on uneven bars and third on floor exercise. Savannah dislocated her elbow in August 2018, so she repeated level 8 for the 2019 season. She finished second in the all-around with a 37.700 and first on vault at the Level 8 State Championships. She qualified to the Region 8 Championships. Following her 2019 season, she discovered that she was competing with loose cartilage in her elbow which resulted in surgery in December 2019. She was able to qualify to the 2020 Level 9 State Championships but she was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic.

As a first-year level 10 gymnast in 2021, Savannah placed seventh in the all-around with a 37.225 and fifth on vault at the State Championships. She qualified to the Region 8 Championships. In 2022, Savannah placed fourth in the all-around with a 37.575 and second on floor exercise at the State Championships. At the Region 8 Championships, she placed sixth in the all-around and fourth on vault. Savannah qualified to the Level 10 National Championships in Mesa, AZ where she placed eighth on vault and 11th on balance beam out of 56 gymnasts.

When Savannah isn't busy training 25 hours each week in the gym, she enjoys swimming, spending time with her family and friends. She also enjoys spending time outside with her farm animals (She has goats, ducks, chickens, dog and cat!). Savannah is a student at North Carolina Cyber Academic and she will graduate in 2024.
