Susan had a rewarding and satisfying public service leadership career at the California Coastal Commission and after over 46 years, retired in December of 2020. During her work in coastal protection, Susan had the opportunity to see the effectiveness of Green Foothills first hand through the amazing advocacy work of the legendary Lennie Roberts. The advocacy of Green Foothills, “Local. Vocal. Effective,” inspired Susan to seek to be involved with Green Foothills.
Susan is active in her second career as a certified Leadership and Life Coach with an emphasis on Somatics and the Enneagram as wonderful tools for self discovery and growth. Along with her work on the Green Foothills Board, Susan joined the UC Master Gardener Training and Volunteer Program for San Mateo and San Francisco Counties in 2024.
Susan attended the University of California, Santa Cruz where she earned her undergraduate degree in Biology and Environmental Studies. She also has a Masters Degree in Management.
Susan has been a resident of San Mateo County since the early 1980’s, and has lived in Half Moon Bay near the Coastal Trail since 2011. She loves spending time exploring the hiking trails and the coastal areas of the region.
