Susan's Story
Life
After high school I went to West Valley College for 2 years, then San Diego State for 1 then finished at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a Graphic Design degree in 1975.
My first job was with The Clorox Company in the packaging engineering department. I left CA in 1983 to join Ore-Ida Foods in Boise, Idaho. I have been here ever since. After 16 years with Ore-Ida I started my own consulting company then in 2002 AlbertsonÂs made me an offer I could not refuse. I was the Director of Packaging for their Corporate Brands group.

ar and moved most of the company to Minneapolis. I decided to take the severance and stay in Idaho. For now, I am unemployed and loving it. Not ready to retire but looking to change my career direction to the arts.
My career has allowed me to travel all over. With Ore-Ida I had monthly trips to either New York or Chicago. I love visiting other cities. One of my first consulting jobs was in Australia. I spent another week there and toured Sydney. One of the highlights was climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
I am single with no kids. My brother and his family are still in San Jose and all of his kids went to Leigh.
