With a degree in Education, and a keen ear, Sue's passion for communicating through the written word has often found its expression in the development of curricula used to deepen the knowledge base and skills of adults who work with children, youth and families. Sue has written curricula and training guides on many topics, including those listed below. She also has a unique ability to synthesize large amounts of information and present it in ways that captivate and educate the reader. In addition to writing curricula, Sue is available to write policy briefs, quick tip or fact sheets, newsletter articles, or to chronicle the process and outcomes of your project. Sue also frequently uses her life experiences and insight to create provocative and inspiring reflections.
