Suzy Kellett

Suzy Kellett is a Certified Co-Active Coach and the single mother of 28 year-old quadruplets. As a parent of multiples she and her children have worked with the neonatology and parent education departments of hospitals in Chicago and Seattle to help new families understand what parenting multiples involves. Trying to maneuver through a university system with one of her children in crisis made her realize how uninformed she was about the college experience today. This led to her interest in educating other parents about "learning college." She wrote a Transitions Program for a high school north of Chicago and presented the first Parent Panel at the FYE (First Year Experience) Conference at the University of South Carolina. She is currently living in Seattle and collaborating with LifeBound in Denver to develop programs and material for parents of college bound high school students. Suzy is also the director of the Washington State Film Office responsible for facilitating motion picture, television and commercial production that comes into the state to film. She is a Rotarian, member of Coachville, The International Coach Federation and serves on the leadership team of the Virtual Community, Region 2. She is a gardener, loves the outdoors, and unabashedly admires her children (Luke, Gwen, Abby and Tyler) and the lives they are creating for themselves. She and her family have been written up in People Magazine, Time Magazine, Redbook, Good Housekeeping and The Wall Street Journal.
