Schmooze with Suze
Hi, I’m Suze. Here with your dose of culture, values and global citizenship- and where we tackle those topics others may consider off-limits.
A little about me, I’m a busy GenX mom who, quite frankly, wanted to grow up like the Brady Bunch… But ended up being raised in the shadow of Schindler’s List. So this means I’ve spent a lifetime navigating these mixed messages we get hit with daily. You know those conversations- where we wonder if it’s safe to speak our minds? Can we share our experiences? Voice our fears and concerns, or should we just keep our mouths shut?
Well, too bad. I need to know! But I’m no expert. So, I’m going to schmooze the experts and get their thoughts. Why? So when we engage with our kids, colleagues, or the countless committees we interact with, we can do it with competence, kindness, confidence, and maybe a bit of humor.
If this sounds like your cup of coffee- welcome to Schmooze with Suze!

Discover how Sel’s upbringing in a family of educators ignited his passion for fostering global citizenship and community engagement. Through his personal experiences, Sel sheds light on the often-overlooked value of commitment and personal responsibility that fosters bridges within our communities.
Together, we discuss the potential of engineering principles to transform educational settings into vibrant, supportive communities. Jacksonville serves as our backdrop, an ideal city for community engagement where positive energy fuels motivation and growth. As Sel shares anecdotes from his path, gratitude emerges as a core theme, alongside faith that inspires and guides his commitment to service.
