During her news career so far, Susan has interviewed a President, several Governors and a dozen Hollywood stars.

She's also reported on national events like the Obama/Biden ticket turning North Carolina into a blue state for the first time in three decades, the banking crisis with Bank of America based in Charlotte, the Boston Marathon Bombings and the manhunt for the Tsarnaev brothers. She’s even volunteered to be dropped into a frozen lake while wearing a neoprene suit to illustrate the dangers of thin ice; for which she won an AP award. She started her career working on the Newton Nanny story.
Susan joined WHDH from WSOC ABC 9 in Charlotte, North Carolina where she was an anchor and reporter for three years.
Prior to that, she spent 3 years reporting in Boston for WFXT FOX 25. She's also spent five years as an anchor at WKTV NBC/CBS/CW 2 in Utica, New York; and started her career at WFXT as a production assistant out of college.
A native of Los Angeles, Susan grew up speaking Mandarin-Chinese with her family and learned to speak English from the Muppets on Sesame Street. She is a 1997 graduate of Boston University where she earned a Bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism.
She starts at necn/NBC Boston in September.
