Suzy stumbled into ASL and interpreting as a twenty-something trying to settle on a career path and graduate from college. Luckily, she took ASL 1 with an amazing teacher, married a Deaf man she met at ASL coffee night (so cliché, right?), and worked for twenty years as a nationally certified sign language interpreter. Suzy began her career as a staff interpreter for the Department of Defense and later transitioned to a community staff interpreter for Network Interpreting Service. It was here she developed a passion for medical interpreting, following many pregnant Deaf women from their first prenatal appointment through delivery, and serving as the emergency-line operator and interpreter for all after-hours medical and mental health interpreting requests. To meet the demands of raising young children as a single parent, she opted into administrative positions that allowed for being a work-from-home mom who could be present for breakfast and after school snacks. She also turned her love of writing into a profession and enjoys working as a writing coach and editor. Her kids are now young adults, and she is enjoying the freedom to apply her creative and critical thinking skills to exciting opportunities. She is a singer/songwriter at heart and is always on the lookout for live music.
