: About Me

A local of Toronto, Canada, Susie's childhood ambition was to be an author. Twenty years later, she's still striving to change the world with words. Since graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University, she has been published in the Toronto Star, Workopolis.com (Canada's largest job site), and a variety of local magazines. Her lust for life has taken her to Thailand, China, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, as well as a life changing one-year stint in South Korea.
