Suzanna got her start in fundraising through organizing the artists' community in the Fort Point Channel of Boston in the early 1980s. She has a strong interest in community living and was a co-founder of a live/work artist cooperative and, more recently, a co-housing community in North Cambridge.

An avid cross country skier, Suzanna loves New England winters and thinks there is never too much snow. For the past three years she has been learning to play the accordion and dreams of joining a Honk band.
