Susie is originally from Michigan (Metro Detroit suburbs) and moved to Midland, Texas in 2013, for her husband's job in the oil & gas industry before settling in the Houston area in 2020. Prior to becoming involved in our school community, she spent 7.5 yrs working in a nationally accredited Parks & Recreation department, where she helped plan as well as work many large scale events for a community population of over 100k. Learning firsthand how much impact an organization can make through strong teamwork & dedication.

Most importantly, she's a very proud Mom to two wonderful boys. Jack is currently in 4th grade & Michael is currently in 2nd grade. She is also wife to an incredibly supportive husband, Mark. She enjoys supporting our school, staff & students however she can. She loves connecting with the students while at the school and making new 'little friends' along the way. Her favorite place to volunteer is the Library.

Outside of Sampson, she enjoys playing mahjong, doing puzzles, hanging with her boys, spending time with friends and family, she is always down for a good laugh & traveling.

Thank you so much for allowing me to serve on our Sampson PTO Board this 2025-26 school year! My role on our Board is overseeing many of the VIPS programs this year, though, truly, Sampson has so many and such GREAT volunteers that my job is made very easy – so thank you SO much for that! What makes me want to be here? My family! My family is my reason for all that I do. I am totally invested in trying to make anything that they are part of be the best version that it can be. Sampson is such a unique place and I am grateful to be part of it. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything – questions, comments, whatever it may be! I am always happy to help and meet new people; if I do not know the answer, I will gladly help find it! A bit more about me personally - I have three children: Lily (3^rd), Tripp (1^st), Sunni (preschool). I work part time as a family nurse practitioner & I am married to the sweetest guy, Kurt. We also have 4 bunnies (!!!!), but I’ll leave it at that because otherwise I’ll be going down a rabbit hole! If my family is not participating in some extracurricular activity (either coaching or partaking in volleyball, baseball, art, softball, swim team, football, cheerleading, triathlons, basketball, etc.!!), you will most likely find us out in the sun & at a beach… and, preferably, at a beach in Mexico!! Looking forward to working with each of you to help (continuing) creating THE BEST place for our kids to be!!!
