Hi!  I'm Susan.

COVID upend your life?  No?  Then perhaps we won’t relate.  But if you are like me, the pandemic has changed so many aspects of life.  We all know the bad (it’s still too soon to laugh at the great toilet paper shortage of 2019), but have you recognized all the incredible silver linings? I am talking about more than ubiquitous widescale grocery delivery!

​

After many years in corporate america, most recently as the Chief of Staff tasked with growing a $1.5B portfolio, I am now able to focus on what I both like to do and in what ways I can most be of service to others. At the heart of everything I did (and do), is tell stories.  I connect with others. I am a writer and narrator focused on helping YOU understand and connect with your audience to achieve YOUR desired strategic result. 

​

With extensive experience working for and with large corporate entities and in various sales environments, I am uniquely positioned to translate your goals into POSITIVE, FOCUSED and MEMORABLE messages. I will help you and your teams present confidently, connect to your audience authentically, and communicate clearly in your own unique way. 

​

​In both my professional and personal journeys, CONNECTION and COMMUNICATION have been cornerstones of my success. Whether presenting to C-suite executives, comforting assault survivors in New York City hospitals, or advocating for educational opportunities for my children, I know HOW you say something can be even more important than the words themselves.  

​

​I live with my husband and two children in Chicago. In addition to my professional duties, I also serve as a short-order cook and chauffeur for sports, music lessons, and various playdates around town. 

​

I look forward to helping you communicate clearly and inspire authentically in your own journey.
