Savanna Deretich is the Government Affairs Coordinator with Students for Life Action. As such, Savanna lobbies for strong federal pro-life legislation, builds relationships with pro-life champions, and serves as the media spokesperson. 

In college, Savanna started a Students for Life group on her campus, and her passion for the pro-life movement rapidly blossomed. It was right around when she began to lead the Students for Life chapter that infanticide was legalized in New York. On that dark day, a burning fire ignited in her heart, and she knew being a voice for the voiceless and protecting preborn babies in law would be her life’s work. The next day, Savanna changed her major to fit a pro-life career path. 

Before Savanna became an employee with Students for Life, she was a Minnesota State Captain with Students for Life Action, a 2019-2020 Wilberforce Fellow, a 2020-2021 Student Spokesperson, founded and served as President for the Students for Life group on her campus at the University of Northwestern St. Paul for over three years, was a legislative intern for her pro-life senator (Michelle Benson) in Minnesota, and interned at Human Life Alliance and Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life.
