She also studied and completed two years of intensive Meisner Technique training at The Meisner Center in Los Angeles under Sanford Meisner's chosen predecessor, Martin Barter. Through working, Susan has developed her own technique which lends itself to the emotional truth of any given situation. Susan loves drama and has a strong background there. She is well known for playing emotionally raw, edgy characters like her street-kid "PJ" in Gabriel's Song, or "Angel," a lonely waitress desperate for love, in When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?. Her favorite role thus far has been playing "Mary" in the Eavsdropper project. She brings a freshness and vulnerability to the role of this naive catholic high-school girl who gets sexually assaulted at the first major party she's ever been to! Susan has made a name for herself in the comedy world as well. She played "Mary," a pregnant teen on the verge of going into labor, in the film Someone To Love, which debut ed at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007. In the film Chasing Tchaikovsky, she plays "Victoria Stone," the artistic and mildly rebellious teenage daughter of Russian immigrants. To prepare for the role, Susan took it upon herself to learn Russian, even though her character had no Russian dialogue scripted. Susan is an avid animal lover and plans to open "no kill" shelters in all of the major U.S. cities. She loves the freedom one can find by exploring a new town. An army brat, Susan lived many places before landing in Los Angeles. She is incredibly grateful for the chance to see so many fascinating places and meet so many wonderful people, and for the world-education she received by such a young age. Her future plans are to act in films that she's passionate about. She's dedicated to screen-writing and producing films that help us open up our eyes to the things that really matter. Susan is actively making her mark in Hollywood, California where she lives with her sister Christine.
