Savina was born in Shaqlawa, Iraq and has lived in Erbil most of her live. She is studying business management at the University of Kurdistan Hawler.
At 14, Savina began working on a public television program for children and now translates, produces and broadcasts news for a local radio station.
"I have a personal motto in life - 'If I step into water I will not get out until I am all wet' - or until I am familiar and knowledgeable in every aspect of what I am involved in. There are many ways I will be using my new skills. For example, I can start working on a documentary film that I always wanted to have enough skills to do, about youth life in Iraq-Kurdistan."
