Savannah Page is a 3rd year Biomedical Engineering student here at the wonderful Michigan Tech. Along with being the Systems Administrator in the Math Lab, she is the President of Tau Beta Pi and a Captain of The Women's Rugby team.

As the Systems Administrator she runs the hiring and training of new consultants and enjoys getting to know them while seeing them grow their skills. At the lab she loves to help guide students to solutions and seeing that moment when it finally clicks and their code works.

According to Savannah she has "the best job on campus!" so if you were doubting it before now you've heard it straight from the source.
