Suzie has wanted to be a speech-language pathologist since 9th grade, and she has wanted to be a Minnesotan since 5th grade. She bailed on her home state of Wisconsin as soon as she hit college age to attend the University of MN-Duluth and earn her BAS in communication sciences/ disorders in 1998.  After a short hiatus to Indiana to earn a master's degree in speech-language pathology from Purdue University in 2000, she returned to Minnesota, her soul-state, where she vows to stay forever.  

In addition to this private practice environment, Suzie maintains employment in educational (high school) and medical (acute and rehab hospital) settings.  Teenagers and young adults are her favorite population. 

PEERS is a natural fit for Suzie as her professional strengths and interests include evaluations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and family education.  By completing  the teen intakes and then providing parent facilitation, Suzie combines her evaluation skills with educational aptitudes to promote a thorough experience for PEERS families.  

Suzie is accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health in speech-language pathology, and holds her educational license in speech-language pathology from the state of MN.

Outside of work, Suzie can be found  running, snowboarding, cooking, traveling, and enjoying all things Minnesotan.
