Bio
Kathy Klouda
Suzanne is a conscientious librarian with an eye to detail. During our voluntary work in Russia and St. Petersburg, I came to know Suzanne and became quite impressed with her caring and warm personality. Her ability to work independently and with a variety of groups and group dynamics helped ensure the success of our project.
Joseph Cialdella
I had the great pleasure of working with Suzanne as a colleague at the Smithsonian Institution. Not only does she have excellent skills in managing and organizing digital assets, but she has an incredible work ethic that allowed her to make enormous progress over the course of a summer for Smithsonian Gardens' efforts to digitally catalog their vast orchid collection. She will be an asset to any museum or library seeking an expert in managing and preserving digital information.
