I am a writer, editor and general creative brain who has been fascinated with words and writing for as long as I can remember. My passion for people, life and the human experience fuel my pen. I am currently working on a collection of essays and letters.

Expressing your thoughts in writing can be especially daunting if English is not your first language. Don’t stress; I can help! I’ve been involved with the Deaf community for 25+ years and the communication skills I have developed interpreting between English and American Sign Language allow me to bridge the written language gap that can present itself with non-native English users.

testimonials
This past fall Suzy Ham assisted me in writing my college application essays and statements. She was a tremendous help in allowing my personality to shine through my written work; her feedback was always constructive and made me think hard about the purpose behind my words. She’s extremely reliable and consistent with her work and I am very thankful for her help during such a stressful time of year. I was very happy with how my essays turned out and felt that the admissions board was going to be able to really see who I am as a person. I would highly recommend her for any high school student looking for advice on their essays.

The writing help that I got was amazing! Getting help from Ms. Ham really helped me to see what I needed improvement on and she guided me through writing my college essays wonderfully. I am so glad I had her help since I got into one of my top colleges, without her help in writing my essays I don’t think I would have been as successful. Thank you for all your help!

As I finalized my dissertation, Suzy worked with me chapter by chapter in making the needed edits. At that point, I was too exhausted to go through my dissertation with a fine-tooth comb. Suzy came to the rescue by reviewing each chapter in a narrow window of time to ensure I met my deadline in order to graduate that year. I really appreciated Suzy’s work. After I defended, there was no further copy editing needed. I loved that she got sentimental when she finished chapter 8 (the last one) and said she felt she was on a journey with me. She was an important part of this final step in my doctorate program!

I LOVED my time with Suzy as my life coach. I am a very driven person who like anyone else has trouble finding the time to fit everything in. Life full of family, work, religious calling, contributing to community and all the other things we often face as mothers!! Suzy was fabulous at helping me pin down the things I really needed to focus on. The important things such as relationships that will last a lifetime! Having a coach who was able to see my strengths and weaknesses and discuss those with directness and care really allowed me to dial in on the changes in my life that made my day to day a much happier place to be and helped alleviate the unnecessary stresses and allow the important stuff to shine through. She was fabulous at follow through and helping me set and attain goals that I could reach but also stretched me to help me become better. Accountability is huge in successfully accomplishing goals and she was very dependable in making sure I was accountable. She listens with intent to help. I highly recommend her as your next life coach!!!
