Suzie began at AYS as a high school student working for a program called February Fun Vacation. In 1995, she helped with the legendary Main Street Madness, the AYS portion of the town's 350th celebration. Suzie went on to serve as co-chair of the Andover Youth Council and initiated several community service projects and high school events, including the first hypnotist night and clothing drive. After demonstrating what it takes to be an AYS employee, she went on to work her first summer program, Total Confusion.

Suzie graduated AHS and still stayed in touch with AYS and came back to work special events and during the summer. While at college, she organized an internship through Northeastern to come and help out with the youth center project. Upon graduating college, she began to work full time with AYS and landed a full-time gig with us in 2003. Presented with the opportunity to run a new satellite office in West Middle School, she wholeheartedly stepped up and the Zone was created with the help of the WMS PAC. Now the Zone has moved to Wood Hill where Suzie is rockin' programs like fashion, venture out, spa days, open zone and more.

Suzie likes ultimate, veggie burgers, running the Keep It Wild fashion program, her dawg, Fenster and her new baby, Tegan.

Here are some pictures from Tegan's first few moments of life.
