Susan has lived most of her life in the Los Angeles area.

Susan has a Bachelor’s degree from Pepperdine University and a Master’s of Education from The University of Texas. As a consummate volunteer and advocate, Susan has worked on global issues with Jewish World Watch and in the area of justice reform with Mom’s of Black Boys United for Social Change. Susan is very excited to be working in the non-profit world after decades of volunteering and thrilled to sync her passion for social justice with her business experience as a part of IKAR.
