How do you connect beyond common narratives and expectations?
I write clear, compelling prose for connecting with customers and community.
As a writer, editor or translator, I love co-crafting messages and verbal spaces that inform and inspire.
I’ve lived and worked in many cultures, so I see multiple perspectives at once and can bring them together. I leverage my eye for language issues to bring an authentic message to life.
Developing your ESG (Economic, Social, and Governance) strategy? I’m keen to help you share how social infrastructure, environmental impact, and ethical interdependence are important measures of achievement for you and show the relevance of your mission now.

“Susan is a dedicated and independent person, with a strong sense of responsibility and a great sense of humour. Moreover, I’ve always been very impressed by the ease with which she was able to appropriate complex matter and render it in her own words. Her basic knowledge of many areas is extensive, and she learns quickly.”
Domeniek Ruyters, Executive Editor, Metropolis M
