She joined the organization in April 2019, and her current goal is to help elevate women’s health and wellbeing worldwide.

Susan was the Director of Breast Imaging for Johns Hopkins Medicine for over seven years, overseeing the organization’s growth in the areas of clinical service, teaching, and research.

She joined the faculty at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for four years, then returned to UVM where she continued practicing until 2005 when she joined Johns Hopkins Medicine as a full-time breast imager. While at Hopkins, Susan held leadership positions in the department of radiology including being the Director of breast imaging. She received many student mentoring awards in the School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of Public Health and in Biomedical Engineering as well as being elected as a member of the Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence.
