ABOUT SUSAN:

Though she was born and raised in Colorado (growing up at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs), she has lived for many years in Texas and California. She returned to Colorado in 2006.

She first earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Baylor University, then worked as an Information Specialist for McKinsey & Co. (a management consulting firm). She also worked in Administration at a charter school, where she helped launch a dual-enrollment High School/College Pathways program. She eventually changed her career focus, deciding to purse nursing where she could combine her love of medicine and serving others. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Colorado Christian University. She has since worked in hospice and women's health; for the last five years, she worked as an obstetrics nurse at Centura Health. She came to RVU to join a team that is "helping to build positive and lasting relationships with preceptors."

In her free time, Susan enjoys football and tennis, as well as spending time in the Colorado mountains. She has two daughters and one 3-year-old "grand-darling." A fun fact about Susan is that she has three kidneys!
