Senior Staff

Susanna Choe, Operational Manager

Susanna has had a strong calling from a young age to help people. This passion led her to get a business, nursing, and health care management degree at the University of Pennsylvania to utilize these skills to come up with ways to better health care systems across the globe. She believes in serving those that are less fortunate or neglected - she has traveled to Cambodia to help orphans, volunteered at women's shelters, built houses with Habitat for Humanity, and run assisted living communities to help the elderly. When she isn't busy raising her two little ones and spending time with family, she is extremely passionate about working for what Transparent Fish Fund and The Chao Foundation stand for and the causes they support.
