Susan first joined the firm as a paralegal and three years later, decided to pursue a law degree, thereafter, returning home to Brown & Ruprecht.

She has a background in foreign language and policy studies and a brief encounter with the Army at USMA West Point both as a student and later as a summer physical training instructor.

While in law school, Susan served as the President of UMKC’s Federal Bar Association and today she contributes to the FBA’s Kansas and Western Missouri Chapter as the inaugural Chair of the Newer Lawyers Committee.
