Suzanne's Story
Life
I graduated from Drake with a Bachelor's degree (English), and again from Iowa State with a Master's degree (English). I taught English at DMACC for 6 years, and at Iowa State for 9. Tired of academic politics, I moved to corporate politics by making a career switch. Bored with other people's corporate politics, I decided to create my own. In January 2005 I opened my own business, 210 Communications, in Des Moines. Our core business functions include technical documentation, project management, and marketing communications.
I got married in 1997; my husband is from Wisconsin. We don't have any kids, unless we count our four-legged kids Anna (Border Collie), and Reggie (Chocolate Lab).
Hobbies include breaking bones due to clumsiness (I recently broke my ankle & leg...Expand for more
while ice skating), reading, writing, and dumping money into the Money Pit, otherwise known as our really old house.
School
I'd just get in trouble if I answered these questions.
College
I don't remember many of my college days. And that's nothing to be proud of.
Workplace
1. Taught college kids for a long time. Gave up. Wanna talk about dumbing down curriculums, grade inflation, and that ridiculous notion that the student is the customer. Whatever.
2. Went to work for a big company. As Dubya says, "These corporate CEOs are just plain guilty of malfeeance!"
3. Started a business. People pay me to do what I love: writing.
Military
BRING THEM HOME.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have Coke, lunch, and friends to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
