Suzanne's passion for writing spawned at ten from a desire to meet her favorite actor. But first, she had to learn English, grow up, then fly from France to Hollywood! With that goal in mind, she earned a BA and a master's degree in English Literature before teaching English and Art in Tahiti, where she still lives. Writing screenplays today is, for her, an open letter to her childhood crush, which eventually turned into a passion for the cinema.
She now specializes in strong female protagonists and Thrillers. Be it Action, Sci-Fi, or Supernatural, the quest for identity and a sense of belonging is central to her stories.
Suzanne's writing received multiple awards and recognition through contests like Page Awards International, Screencraft, and Stage 32. Three of her scripts are Winners.
When she does not write, Suzanne paints, handcrafts costume jewelry or sings in her Jazz band Oh Happy Fiù, a pun roughly meaning "Carpe Diem" in Tahitian.
