She is a certified addiction counselor who has worked with at-risk youth and dual diagnosis populations. In 2013 Susan was given the Brandon Award for her excellence in writing at Mount San Antonio college. She has self-published three books: Escapegoat Poetry, Anti-Narc Poetry and Meteorites and the Monarch Butterfly. In her spare time she creates art. Her main focus is vision board collages. Her own life experience and artwork is what inspires her writings. What brings her the most joy is spending quality time playing Roblox with her 12 year old daughter and going nature hiking and rock collecting with her 5-year-old Australian cattle dog. view less
