Susan Iannuzzi

Materials, curriculum and literacy development (first & second language) are my passions. I'm the rare consultant with practical publishing experience, as an in-house editor and published author, an academic background in linguistics/literacy development, and legal training, which has honed my analytical skills. Whether writing /editing materials, partnering with Ministries to develop curricula, or creating professional development programs for NGOs, I deliver quality results. I'm able to work alone, on a team, or managing a team.
