My name is Savannah. I attended Archway from 2010-2011 and joined the recovery staff from 2013-2015.
What a time it was! As a student, I was met with constant support academically, emotionally, and mentally. The staff as a whole created a safe and stable space during a very wild and unstable time of my life. As a staff member, I was offered a seat at a table of intelligent, kind, and successful men & women that went on to shape my adulthood. While my role was to support our students, I gained much more than just a salary in return. As a young woman I can confidently say it was one of the most important and positive influences that set me out on the beautiful adventure that my life is today. I went on to attend holistic health schools, worked on sustainable farms, and became certified in different movement modalities. This allowed me to begin a career in the health & fitness industry and subsequently led me into Martial Arts. A few years ago I moved to Mexico with my now husband to train MMA, learn Spanish, and work with startups until we got pregnant last year. We had our baby girl in September and I am now experiencing an entirely new sense of fulfillment and love. Every night I get to thank God for my family and our lives together.
Looking back today I’m so grateful for the wonderful impact Archway had on me and how that unfolded into the life I get to live today. Thank all of you so very much.”
