She graduated from Dartmouth College in 1981 with a degree in Art History.
In 1984, after a series of jobs which included stints in the advertising department at Inc.

The following year she moved to the editorial department as the New Products Editor. In 1988, Suzanne left ComputerWorld to begin working full time as a freelance writer and editor.
