Susan brings warmth and depth to every interview, speech, public appearance, and column. Her well-rounded perspective, delivered with the zest of a woman who revels in self-empowerment, is capable of engaging (and often winning over) even those who might oppose her forward-thinking views.

An unwavering resolve that everyone matters drives all of Susan’s endeavors. She is a proven master at adaptive change, illustrated by her leadership in making WSRQ (talk radio station) a sterling example of how to succeed on the air by “going local.”
