Susan came to MSGH in 2010 after a varied career in the law and the non-profit worlds. She began her professional career as an attorney in California and New York, focusing on business litigation and environmental, oil, and gas law, and she represented a wide array of corporate and individual clients. Her legal career provided her with the opportunity to hone her skills as an advocate, creating a strong grounding for her work as a development professional.
After a successful legal career, Susan focused her attention on the non-profit sector, and has worked for a variety of cultural and educational institutions in Connecticut and New York. Her experience has included The Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, and the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City. Her work at these organizations focused on finding resources and support for education and the arts. Susan has enjoyed her experiences working with both individual and institutional donors, special donor groups and volunteers, as well as producing special events. She has also done a great deal of lobbying at both the state and federal levels.
Susan holds a JD from Syracuse University, an MA in Visual Arts Administration from New York University, and a BA in Political Science from Boston University.
Susan has served on the Early Childhood Committee at the Mandell JCC, is an avid reader, and in her free time enjoys the arts, travel, skiing and spending time with her family.
