Her writing appears quarterly in Berklee Today, the college's alumni publication.

Susan teaches private lessons in Irish whistles, flute, and saxophone. She completed her Master of Music in Ethnomusicology at Tufts University in Boston, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in music from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts.
