“I know Suzette personally and professionally. I've have always known
her to be an organized, responsible, and an easy going individual. I
believe that her skills and background make her an excellent business
associate, partner, and friend! Suzette is an amazing resource when it
comes to advancing the lives in for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
community--especially with advice specifc to how things can be changed
for the better in enterprise level environments . She provides a very
pinpointed perspective, as a deaf person, that hearing people can
never really fully understand--and makes it easier and more relevant
with her ability to communicate universally to her audience, deaf or
hearing. During the time I have known her, Suzette has been active in
her community, serving on the board for WISCRAD (Wisconsin Rainbow
Alliance of the Deaf) and an active volunteer for PrideFest, Inc. in
Milwaukee, WI. I am proud to call Suzette, my friend, and am fortunate
to have had the great pleasure, and opportunity to learn from,
collaborate with, and laugh with in our business and personal
relationship. Any person that meets Suzette will likely have the same
experiences!”
