Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm Savannah D’Orazio, a mosaic of experiences as born and raised New Yorker that’s half Puerto Rican and half Italian 🌶 While the Bronx, NY is my hometown, I also consider Miami, FL (where I finished high school) and Los Angeles, CA (where I attended undergrad) places that raised me. Each of these vibrant cities has played a pivotal role in shaping who I am today—my journey has been anything but ordinary. If I had to write an autobiography I might title the book: Never a Dull Moment 😅
My spirit thrives on innovation and the thrill of connecting the dots between seemingly disparate phenomena. I find joy in exploring the world and human behavior through the lens of nature and scientific analogies, constantly seeking to understand the intricate patterns that bind us all 🤜🤛
Professionally, I’m an entrepreneur and fund associate. Some notable achievements include me launching my first business at 15 years old (marking the beginning of my journey as a 4x founder), orchestrating events uniting over 3,200 wealth builders across various U.S. cities, and speaking on stages to inspire the most ambitious go-getters 🚀
Academically, I earned two degrees. I hold a BA in Biology from Occidental College and an MA in Education Policy and Public Politics from Teachers College at Columbia University 🎓🎓 During my tenure in higher education, I was recognized for distinguished research and developed a deep love for data analytics. I am proud to be a 2014 recipient of the Gates Millennium Scholarship, which provided me with the essential financial support needed to access these educational opportunities 🏅
My goal in life is to reach more people than McDonald’s—I'm passionate about liberation, advancing women's health, climate resilience, and extracurricular enrichment for youth from low income backgrounds ⛓🕊
When not immersed in my work, you'll find me chatting with my friends or family, indulging in good eats across NYC, entertaining myself with standup comedy, and tending to my garden plants. I cherish moments spent cooking, swimming, hiking, and solving jigsaw puzzles. My language skills include fluency in Spanish, conversational proficiency in French, and beginner-level Arabic 🔋
My best kept secret? 🤫 I have a passion for adventure, holding four SCUBA certifications and having explored the depths of the ocean further than 550 feet in a submarine 🦈
