Susan Zhuang has worked diligently to serve the people and communities of Southern Brooklyn for over a decade. She is a passionate community activist, connector, and advocate for crucial issues such as public safety, equitable education, housing and senior services.

Raised in Baipu, a town in Eastern China, Susan was born into a family that ran a small business and was raised by her grandparents who were school teachers. She later came to the United States in 2007 as an international student with nothing but two suitcases in pursuit of the American Dream. Susan earned her bachelor degree in Finance from the State University of New York at Oswego and later an MBA from University of Southern Indiana.

Upon graduating SUNY Oswego, Susan moved to New York City to work in the private sector for few years. During that time, she volunteered at the Office of New York State Assemblyman William Colton and leveraged her background in finance to help senior citizens and small businesses file tax returns. It is this first-hand experience that provided her with the unique perspective and understanding of issues concerning seniors and small business owners.

Driven by her passion for public service, Susan joined Assemblyman Colton’s Office as Chief of Staff in 2014.
