About HTGYG’s Susan
Susan, or “Susie the Southern Geek” as she is known at Farpoint Media, is currently a stay-at-home mom of two kids. She earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, with specialties in Health Education and Behavioral Medicine, and very nearly earned her Ph.D., before realizing that she didn’t really enjoy being a therapist. She did enjoy her teaching experiences as a graduate assistant, and looked for more opportunities to teach, starting with psychology at a community college. Susan then became a staff instructor for the Red Cross before becoming the volunteer coordinator for the county’s Senior Services. She stopped working when her first child was born, and has happily been at home ever since.
Susan now spends a good deal of her time working with the PTA at her children’s elementary school, and enjoys working with other people’s kids in addition to her own “little geniuses.”
Susan is also a life-long sci-fi, fantasy and science geek, and loves to incorporate her favorite hobbies into her current career of raising her kids. She believes that including her kids not only strengthens her relationship with them, but also benefits their development of useful skills such as critical thinking, logic, creativity and reading comprehension, just to name a few.
She also is a really big goofball, and tries not to take anything too seriously!
