Susan comes from Leicester and her home church is Whetstone Baptist Church, Leicester. She qualified as a teacher in 1999 and has been teaching since then, both as a permanent Year 3 teacher for two years and as a supply teacher.
Susan previously worked as a teacher in GDQ School for mission workers' children in Tirana both as a BMS short-term volunteer in 2003 and as a BMS long-term worker from April 2006 - February 2009. Having spent some time back in the UK, she rejoined the GDQ staff in January 2010.
Susan enjoys spending time with friends and family, craft activities, sport and going to the cinema. Over the years, she has been involved in several sports clubs, although she does emphasise that this has not made her an expert or a particularly skilled sportsperson by any stretch of the imagination!
