Susan Robens
What helped shape my approach is through the personal experience of living abroad for over 20 years and through 2 careers of archaeology and photojournalism. The personal experiences helped to create the understanding of the need for individuality and personal identity in diverse cultures. All of this, while raising 5 children in a complex world!

I earned two Master’s degrees: Master of Edu in Mental Health Counseling Program with Lamar University and a Master of Liberal Arts in Conflict Analysis from Antioch McGregor University with a Bachelor’s degree in Archaeology from SUNY in Jerusalem.
