Congratulations, Savannah Keller
If you hang around the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Kids for any length of time, you’ll quickly realize that the name “Savannah Keller” is synonymous with “EXCELLENCE!”. Savannah joined the Ronald McDonald House as a Family Care Manager in June of 2017 and quickly established herself as a key member of the organization. Her consistency, initiative, and willingness to go above and beyond what is asked of her has contributed to the ongoing success of the House at Mercy Kids and those who are fortunate enough to work and volunteer alongside her.
As we embark on the journey called 2023, we set in motion several efforts to bolster our development team within the organization, starting with Savannah’s acceptance of the brand-new Communications Specialist position. Savannah has a passion for writing, editing, and all things communication, and she is currently well on her way to receiving her Master of Arts in Technical and Professional Writing from Missouri State University. Don’t worry! Savannah will continue to serve with her trademark excellence as a Family Care Manager at the House at Mercy Kids one day per week.
Savannah has proven time and time again she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to, and we are so excited for what lies ahead as she takes on this new role at Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks. Congratulations, Savannah!
