Susie’s career includes eighteen years in public education and in 2015, she founded With Pride Consulting to create actionable change for the LGBTQ+ population in schools and the workplace. Her reputation for being up-front and authentic about DEI topics has contributed to Susie’s success. Her down-to-earth humor compels audiences to laugh while they learn and feel safe while they share vulnerable moments. Susie artfully mixes her professional experience with her personal experiences and coming out story to bridge the knowledge deficit and help others on their DEI journeys. Today, her unique perspective and future-ready business strategies are amplified as a TDM Consultant where she drives awareness and shared accountability across all diversity traits including gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, and mental and physical abilities. Susie’s expertise has deepened recruitment pools, increased employee productivity, and boosted companies’ bottom lines. 

Susie lives in Cary, North Carolina, with her wife, two children, and a dog named Clark Griswold. When she is not consulting or speaking, Susie enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, painting, and baking delicious treats!
