  • Suzanne embraces teaching as an opportunity to inspire and empower students to feel personally challenged by the experience of learning.
  • She believes that being a part of students’ lives each day is a teacher’s opportunity to save the world, one child at a time.

“Suzanne challenges her students to question and learn in communities in which they can grow and flourish. She’s interested in her students, her colleagues, and the community. I think she’s brilliant.”

Dr. Sydna Arnold, Colleague

“She was great. She let us do the types of projects that people that I talked to from other schools didn’t get to do, and it changed my perception on life.”

George De Vera, Attorney and Former Student
