Background

Susan joined DCI in 2007 after working for two years at a public relations agency in Cincinnati with clients such as Procter & Gamble and IHOP. Her innate business sense coupled with degrees in journalism and public relations from Northern Kentucky University allow Susan to quickly understand and explain her clients' most newsworthy stories to the media.

Susan's Passion for Places

Although she'll always call Kentucky home, exploring different cities and cultures has always been Susan's greatest desire and the reason she has gone on long trips away from home. It was this drive to learn more about the world that ultimately led Susan to DCI's doorstep and into the arms of people who love telling the stories of diverse places just as much as she does.

Now in her work with DCI, Susan not only has the chance to live her dream every day, but she also has the opportunity to share her passion with the entire world through her interactions with national - and international - journalists.
