Savannah Baber is from the Chickahominy Indian Tribe and the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. She grew up in Raleigh, NC, but her family frequently traveled up and down I-95 to stay connected to their tribal communities in Charles City, Virginia and Robeson County, North Carolina.
Savannah earned her B.A. in English and Politics at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, and she remains a proud Demon Deacon even though she is currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration degree at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Go Deacs, always/Go Heels, sometimes!
Savannah previously worked at Wake Forest as the Assistant Director for the university's Intercultural Center, and she loved producing co-curricular programming for students. Most recently, Savannah was the Virginia Indian Program Coordinator at Virginia Humanities; in that role, she enjoyed partnering with the tribal nations across the state to promote, preserve, and produce indigenous knowledge.
Outside of work, Savannah enjoys traveling, going to brunch with friends, and watching bad (but really good) reality TV. She resides in Winston-Salem, NC and insists that it's the most underrated city in the state.
