As a first generation American of German immigrants, Susanne was born in Wisconsin and later moved to Ohio. After a year of college, she convinced her conservative parents to let her try modeling in NYC. Though the modeling didn't stick, the city did, and she thrived in the fashion industry for the next 15 years. After marrying, relocating to Florida, and raising two boys, she started acting, but not until she overcame her crippling panic attacks. Now this self-proclaimed late bloomer is thrilled with the challenges of storytelling. She is at home playing a white-collar suit scheming for her own gain, a tough as nails doc taking on big pharma, or a blue-collar wife who's been through it but loyal. She is convinced that life outside her comfort zone is now far more interesting! Susanne lives in LA with her husband of 30 years, 2 sons and 2 pups!
