She loves to ski in the winter and go to the beach or lake in the summer. She is a runner (a very slow one) and currently training for a half-marathon this fall here in Boston. She would love to travel more and experience what the world has to offer.

Sue’s aspirations for participating in the Certificate Program for Compassionate Systems Master Practitioners were to continue to grow personally and develop a systems thinking mindset and practice. She would like to have practical experience using the tools and opening herself up to new ways of thinking.
