“I became A journalist to
come
as close as
possible to
the heart of
the
world.”
— Henry R. Luce
Greetings! I’m Susan, and I’m so glad you’re here. Who am I, you might wonder? Well . . .
I’m a Midwestern girl by provenance, a New Yorker deep within my soul, and a realist living la vida in L.A.
I’m a broadcast journalist who has covered everything from breaking news to heartbreaking stories
I’m an ace interviewer who is genuinely intrigued by people and what makes them tick
I’m an excellent listener who relishes in-depth conversation over small talk
I’m a believer in digging deep and doing what’s right, especially when the odds are stacked against you
I’m a podcast enthusiast and fervent concertgoer, a night owl and keen reader of books, a zealous board game player and an ardent traveler of time and space
I’m a director, producer, writer and correspondent who delves deep into the heart of matters
I’m also a SAG-AFTRA television and film voiceover artist
Without further ado, here are some productions I’ve had the great fortune of working on . . .

When all the elements of a production dovetail together and a story unfolds, it’s like magic. One of the fringe benefits of having a husband who works in film post-production? We occasionally get to collaborate. It’s a blast from the past, reminiscent of when we first met and worked together at CNN.
“When the storyteller tells the truth, she reminds us that human beings are more alike than unalike.”
— Maya Angelou
