Biografía
As a 6-time Daytime Emmy Award winning Latina director/producer, my storytelling runs the gamut: from celebrity-driven comedy to documentary, branded content, and narrative fiction. I've worked both nationally and internationally with budgets ranging from thousands to millions and crews from 7 to 75. I am best known for directing over 1,000 segments for the iconic "The Ellen Degeneres Show" garnering over 500M+ views cross platforms during my 15 year tenure. My work as director on the Emmy Nominated "Momsplaining with Kristen Bell" garnered 285+M views cross platforms and has won 3 consecutive Webby Awards. On Suzanne as a director, Kristen says, "I'm sure others can speak to the intricacies of Suzanne's excellence but my unique contribution is providing a real world context coming from an actor's perspective. Suzanne is the most efficient director I've ever worked with - period....she has a quality that can't be learned - it's an innate instinct on how to direct the camera but also how to direct people...and she does it all at lightning fast speed. " Seasoned, energetic, passionate, prepared and experienced, for me, it's all about the story, the layers, and the human condition. And always with a dash of humor!
