Bio
Christa Johnston
I had the fortunate experience of working with Savanna during her time at Dialpad. Savanna and I worked on different teams, but she was always willing to help out others when she could. I was short on resources, so I requested Savanna's help building the communication campaign for my program. She was friendly, professional, and very good at what she does. After an initial intro call with me, Savanna shared a template to help capture the requirements for the program and identify any gaps. She then followed up with a few clarifying questions and provided me with a delivery date BEFORE my requested delivery date. Not only did she meet that date, but the communications she wrote for me were clear, concise, and delivered in the voice and tone specific to our brand. I would highly recommend Savanna to anyone looking for a personable, diligent worker, who meets her deadlines and provides quality outputs.

I had the pleasure of managing Savanna for 9 months during her time at Dialpad. Savanna stood out to me in our first interaction during the interview process. She was so prepared, thoughtful, and had such a unique background that made her an ideal candidate for our internal comms role at Dialpad - and all of those characteristics carried over when she was in the role. While she was on my team one of the major projects she took on was creating a communication strategy. This strategy included templates, audiences, communication channel analysis etc. We then used this communications strategy to streamline our communications and reduce time that we spent doing common tasks. Savanna was such a huge asset to our team and any company would be lucky to have her!
