Welcome to My Blog | About Suzanne Dinsmore

Hi there,

My name is Suzanne Dinsmore. Welcome to my blog! I hope to get to know a bit more about you as we build this community! In the meantime, here is a little bit about me...

Growing Up on Maryland's Eastern Shore

I was born 1 minute before my fraternal twin sister, April Hershberger (she is the world's best partner in crime! You should follow her @barnhomeliving). Almost 42 years ago, at the age of 2, my parents moved us to the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

I am so lucky to have grown up in such a magical place! It taught me about small towns, respect for animals and the environment, a love of the water, and how truly kind and decent most people can be.

The Impact of Camp Wright

I spent about 10 summers at Camp Wright as a camper and a counselor. Camp Wright is an incredible place that helped shape me into the person and leader I am today. I highly recommend hiring former camp counselors, they are flexible, adaptable, and emotionally intelligent.

My Education and Paralegal Career

I am a 2001 graduate of Saints Peter and Paul High School (Go Sabres!). I graduated in 2005 from Salisbury University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. In 2006, I graduated from Chesapeake College with a Paralegal Certificate.

School is not something that came easily to me, so I had to study hard to get decent grades. Once I started working as a Legal Secretary and then Paralegal I realized with hard work I could really be successful. I am now a firm believer that traditional schooling is not perfect for every child. I have also realized that the regular reinforcement of my hard work caused me to become a workaholic, so much so that I would ignore a life threatening condition in order to work (more on that later).

Family Life & Hobbies

I met my husband, James, on match.com. I needed to send one last email in order to qualify for their 6-month free guarantee. Spoiler alert: I didn't get to use my free 6 months!

I am an incredibly proud Mom to my 8-year-old daughter, Jackie! We also have a variety of animals- Sammy the dog, Violet the cat, Ginger the hamster, Senator the horse, and three tanks of fish.

Thank you so much for reading my blog and being on this journey with me!
