826 Boston | Susanna Kemp

Susanna is a Boston-area native who’s back in the city after a hiatus in the Midwest and Spain. She graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in journalism and minors in Spanish and creative writing. As an undergrad, she helped create and edit pieces for organizations including Futuro Studios, StoryCorps, and WNUR. One of her favorite college gigs was a summer spent scouring the internet for real-life horror stories to produce on WNYC’s Snap Judgment Presents: Spooked. During those years she also volunteered as a high school health educator and journalism instructor, and after graduating she co-led a project-based high school design course outside of Chicago and assistant-taught ESL in Galicia, Spain, on a Fulbright grant. Outside of 826 Boston, you can find Susanna baking a cake for a made-up occasion, at a concert, or biking around the city.
