Savannah Rogers, Divisional Director of Culinary
Divisional Director of Culinary, Savannah Rogers, is a career culinarian and hospitality industry professional with experience in just about every food- and beverage-related role in the business. Her passion for culinary and senior living began with her very first job in high school, when she worked as a server and cook at what is now a Morada Senior Living sister community, Conservatory At Keller Town Center, where her grandparents lived at the time. With desires to pursue a better knowledge of culinary arts and fine dining she decided culinary school would be her next step.
After graduating from Johnson and Wales University with a Culinary Arts Degree, Savannah spent several years at the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort in Dallas, where she worked in various culinary and front-of-house positions. It was there she developed her eye for detail and desire to push the envelope with cuisine to not only taste delicious but be nutritious as well. After honing her skills and learning from Four Seasons, she was offered a career back in senior living to ascend to Director-level positions with leading senior living organizations. As former Executive Chef and Dining Services Director at a closeby senior living community, she developed a comprehensive culinary and hospitality program from the ground up. She also served as traveling executive chef and pastry chef, a role in which she led the planning and execution of all F&B functions for high-profile Grand Opening events and led the charge in team development and fine-dining training within the company.
In her current role, Savannah supports all Morada Senior Living communities with culinary and dining services-related functions. Her role includes menu planning, dining service standards, resident satisfaction, first impressions, food production management, sanitation and safety practices, team member training and more. With quality, nutrition, and menu diversity in mind, Savannah will champion Morada Senior Living’s culinary vision, allowing residents to celebrate diverse cultures and even harken back to their favorite childhood memories through flavors and tastes that bring back some of their fondest memories.
