About Susan Fennema :
Susan Fennema has always had a knack for organizing and creating order out of chaos. Even as a child, she would meticulously arrange her mom's buttons by size, color, and row. Throughout her career, Susan has worked as a right-hand person for small business owners, making things happen and ensuring smooth operations. However, she decided to take a leap and serve all business owners rather than just one at a time. One of the highlights of her career was a 10-year stint as an operations director at an advertising agency in Chicago, a role that taught her the resilience and adaptability necessary in the industry. Susan's ability to handle advertising has prepared her for any challenge that comes her way, and she continues to thrive in her path of helping businesses succeed.
