Susanna started gymnastics when they were 8 and was competing by 9. Soon, gymnastics led to dancing and dancing led to singing. Having had seven years of piano lessons (family tradition) and access to all her siblings other stringed instruments, musicality came easily.

At 18, Susanna moved to Los Angeles to take dance classes at The Edge Performing Arts Center on scholarship. After living and training in California for a year, she had her first taste of professional musical theatre in a regional production of “Oklahoma!” Having been bitten by the bug, Susanna moved to New York City to attend AMDA’s Integrated musical theatre program in 2016.
