  • About

    Susan Schleef

    My bachelors degree in Secondary Education (with a focus in Music Education) took on new meaning when I started learning about computers in the late 70s and discovered I was good at understanding technology and at explaining it to others. For 23 years, I've done that in many jobs at the Red Cross.
