Suzanne is an active participant and volunteer at Maribyrnong Libraries, Rotary and Avatar.

​

Suzanne reflects, “I’m always learning different ways to be more honest, compassionate and personally responsible…which can be a challenge at times! That has been a 25 year journey since I first started the Avatar course.”

​

Through her learning journey, Suzanne has “learnt to accept when I don’t know something and ask for help. I’ve also learnt to acknowledge that mistakes can be good and that you can learn from them.”

​

An eager learner, Suzanne is a knitter, gardener, reader, community volunteer and practices calligraphy. The next thing she’d like to learn is Japanese, as her son’s family lives in Japan. Suzanne remarked, “When I go to Japan next, I’d like to be able to communicate better when I visit, I’d like to be a part of the community when I visit.”
