Over the last three decades Susan Corning has worked in rural development across three continents: Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. Her MSc from the College of Agriculture, University of Maryland, College Park gave her entree into jobs that took her to faraway locales. These jobs, in turn, gave her unique immersion in multi-cultural environments where she worked alongside socio-economically marginalized people. Places she has lived and worked include Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, and South Africa. Her favorite animals include horses, dogs, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, rock hyrax, and Ankole cattle. Susan's hobbies include equestrian pursuits, raising hens, and gardening. Currently Susan lives on a farm in Bend, Oregon along with her husband Roger, three dogs, two cats, six horses, and 19 chickens. She still owns a horse in Ecuador, as well as one in Kenya.
