Personable and approachable, Susan enjoys connecting with people of all walks of life. Immigrating to the United States in 1977, Susan was faced with acclimating to a new culture and environment at a very young age. Growing up, she was inspired by her parents' strong work ethic, tenacity and resiliency.

After graduating from Cypress Creek High School, Susan was able to experience briefly life as a "longhorn" at The University of Texas. She went on to further her education in photography at The Art Institute of Houston and a B.A. in Business Marketing from the University of Houston. Prior to her career in residential real estate, Susan worked at Vitol where she honed her attention to detail reviewing oil and gas contracts and immersing in the rigorous world of commodities trading. Her genuine interest in people and their life story contributes to her success in helping buyers find their dream home.
