Savannah Williams is a proud Virginia native who, after living in Washington state and Maryland collectively for 8 years, relocated back to Hampton Roads in 2022.

Having acquired a Bachelor degree in Visual and Performing Arts/Theatre at Longwood University, and possessing a love for history since she was a little girl, acting at CW was a dream job.
