The Early Years           

      Born in Baltimore on Dec. 4, 1959, Susan graduated from Woodlawn High School, then earned her B.S. in business administration and accounting from   Towson University in 1981. She did postgraduate studies at the University of Baltimore. Susan has worked as an accountant and financial consultant for small businesses for more than 20 years, most recently as client manager for Aston IT Group.

      Susan and her husband, Mark, also a Towson alumnus, have been actively involved in their community since moving to Eldersburg over 20 years ago.  With their love of the outdoors and sports, Susan and Mark spent time helping with Freedom Optimist athletic programs for more than 15 years.  Susan’s love of Carroll County deepened as she committed increasingly more time to community, church, sports, and to what would become a consuming passion—schools.

      Some might say Susan got her first taste of politics at age 24 when she began lobbying for more swings on the neighborhood swing set. She noticed that a nearby tot lot often had as many as two dozen little ones at a time who wanted to swing. So she led an effort to get a new swing set. She never got the swings, but she soon found herself pushing for other improvements in Eldersburg and Sykesville.

      Her volunteer activities with Carroll County Public Schools, the PTA and the Freedom Area Citizens Council opened her eyes to an impending crisis. South Carroll was emerging from its bucolic past to become the fastest growing and most populous area of the county. In the process, schools, water supplies, roads and emergency services were being overwhelmed. Susan responded by organizing residents to fight for construction of Piney Ridge Elementary School, Oklahoma Road Middle and Century High schools in South Carroll County.
