Born and raised in Portland Oregon, Susan is firmly rooted in Northwest culture and lifestyle. Most of her family still lives in the surrounding region. One of four children, she has strong family ties and values. Having gown up in Southeast Portland in the Woodstock area, she has been witness to and a supporter of neighborhood growth and improvement. With Milwaukie only minutes away, she recalls a time when there was a vibrant downtown core in Milwaukie that serviced local neighborhoods. The unique small town ambience and large backyards in well-established neighborhoods made Milwaukie the perfect place to invest in a home. That was 25 years ago. 

Susan and her husband Michael live with two cats. She has been working as a Registered Nurse for over 29 years. For the past 14 of those years, she has been an avid volunteer in the City of Milwaukie. She became involved in her neighborhood association (Ardenwald Johnson Creek) in 1992, quickly emerged as an advocate for neighborhood livability and traffic safety and was appointed to the Milwaukie Traffic Safety Commission. She held a membership and chairperson position for several years as the Commission was transitioned to the Milwaukie Traffic Safety Board. She was instrumental in the development and implementation of a traffic calming program in Milwaukie. She served on The Juvenile Diversion Panel in Milwaukie for two years prior to being elected to her present seat on the Milwaukie City Council. She is an advocate and presenter for the Hands Project in Milwaukie. The programs pledge "I will not use my hands or my words for hurting myself or others" is the foundation for the program and the message taken into local schools. 

Susan believes our limited resource of green space should be protected and enhanced and our economic development approach should be sensible and reflect community values. The City Council is ultimately responsible for setting and  implementing good policy and making decisions that are fiscally prudent whilst remaining accountable to the tax-paying citizens who elected them to office.
