MEET YOUR HOST

Hi, I’m Susan Riley.

I’m a veteran educator who moved from the music classroom… to central office… to an education entrepreneur. You’ll find me anywhere with water, good food, and a quiet place to read (introverts unite!).

My goal is to help you get curious and creative. Whether that’s getting inspired by artists’ stories, exploring new ways to reach and teach your students, or continuing to take care of yourself along the way – I’m excited to walk alongside your journey.
