She earned her LL.B from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, in 1992 and obtained her Legal Education Certificate from the Hugh Wooding law School in Trinidad & Tobago in 1994. While at Hugh Wooding, she was awarded the Pelham Sloane Prize for conveyancing.

Outside of the firm, Savitri has sat on the land transfer committee of the Barbados Bar Association and given seminars to the Barbados Bar on the topic of conveyancing and registration of title.
