Hello, I’m Suzanne.
I’m an educator and business professional who enjoys asking thoughtful questions and building practical solutions. I design learning experiences, digital resources, and processes that help people understand complex information and take their next steps with confidence.
As Director of Dual Enrollment Advising at Cedarville University and a former high school business teacher, I work at the intersection of education, technology, and service. My experience includes developing business curriculum, delivering professional learning, and creating portals, planning tools, and communications for students, families, school partners, and colleagues.
My Working Geniuses are Wonder and Galvanizing. I’m energized by exploring how something could work better and helping people move an idea into action. I value listening closely, working collaboratively, and using data to guide improvements.
Experience and Approach
My career has included inventory planning, joint venture administration, marketing, accounting, and education. Across these settings, I’ve developed an appreciation for how people experience an organization’s systems and how thoughtful design can make their work easier.
I enjoy translating needs into useful resources, connecting people across departments, and making ideas concrete. Whether I’m developing a learning activity or improving a digital workflow, I focus on who will use it, what they need to accomplish, and how I can make the experience clearer.

Beyond Work
Outside of work, I enjoy serving my church, hiking, traveling, discovering local restaurants, and listening to podcasts that challenge me to think differently. I’m almost always learning something new.
I’m also a mom to five and have been married to my husband for 26 years. Family keeps me grounded and reminds me to approach people with patience, curiosity, and a sense of humor.
