She studied perfume in the South of France and represented Galimar in the U.S., which is the oldest perfumery in France. She is the former owner of two marketing firms, Harddrive and Maverick Solutions.
Susan was also a gifted writer and wrote advertising for numerous Fortune 500 companies, but fragrance was her passion; and, as such, she was a certified "nose."

If you spent time with Susan, you usually spent most of it laughing. She enjoyed numerous activities. She loved dancing, traveling, yoga, working out, gardening, cooking, wine-tasting, and was a voracious reader.
