About Savannah Stephens

Hi, I’m Savannah Mom of three, proud military spouse, and (self-proclaimed) Taylor Swift’s biggest fan.I currently serve as a DAF Civilian at Hurlburt Field as the Chief of Public Affairs for the 1st Special Operations Wing, while also continuing my service as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) in the Air Force Reserve.With experience spanning community engagement, strategic communication planning, social media, crisis communication and media relations, I thrive in collaborative environments that value creativity, clarity, and open communication.During my time on Active Duty, I served in four distinct public affairs roles, including a deployment in a joint operational environment, where I managed communications at the operational level and coordinated directly with senior combatant command and DoD leaders.
