Her love extends to the furry members of her household, as she is an avid animal lover with two dogs and a grand-doggy.

Simple Pleasures
Outside of her professional and creative endeavors, Susan finds joy in simple pleasures.

Notably, during the holidays, Susan shares her culinary talents by crafting some of the most delectable homemade fudge, adding a sweet touch to the festivities.
