Born in the Netherlands, Suzanne has traveled throughout the world and the United States. Her family ultimately settled in the United States, where she earned a BS in Biochemistry from Bates College, and a MS in Cellular and Molecular Pathology from UNC@Chapel Hill. She has previously been a research technician and lab manager at UVM, and a professor and department head at Champlain College--and she is now thrilled to help coordinate the daily operations at LCWS. She is no stranger to LCWS, as all three of her children have attended the school. When she is not at school, she can be found in her gardens, weaving, watching football with her husband, or chasing after her dog.
