Susan is a Bay Area native who was born in San Francisco and has called the Peninsula her home for the past 30 years.

For 5 years, she worked at Genelabs Technologies and Genentech, co-authoring several scientific papers and earning a US Patent for her research conducted on Hepatitis. Prior to her research in virology, Susan did academic research in plant pathology at UCB. Her stint in plant research was fueled by her long time attraction to plants. Shortly before joining the world of real estate, Susan further pursued her passion of plants and landscape design, by participating in a certificate program on landscape architecture through the UC extension program. Although she did not finish this program, Susan has acquired a good grasp on landscape design and an understanding of plant behavior, which has helped her in the Real Estate field.
At home, Susan, with the help of her husband, manages to raise two daughters. Susan is also an avid photographer. She enjoys working with both digital and 35mm film.
