About me
Greetings! My name is Suzanne Brown and this is my eighth year at Canyon Valley. I was born and raised in Tucson and received my BA in English from the University of Arizona. I am currently finishing up my Masters in English at Arizona State University. I love reading and animals (I have a dog, guinea pigs, and even a class pet--Scout the Hamster), traveling, and hanging out with my family. I have been teaching English for years and am excited to add Journalism this year!
