Susan Lessinger
Director, People & Culture

How did you come to work at Smile Marketing?
I was born and raised in the California Bay Area. After a decade of a really long commute, we moved my family north 250 miles to live in the country and enjoy clean, fresh air. After settling into our new home and community, I looked for a remote job so I could spend more time with my family before our twins left for college. I found Smile Marketing and was so excited to join the team!

What is your favorite thing about your job?
We have the most amazing and talented team members! I have never worked with such a passionate and caring group of individuals. I am so lucky to get to work with each and every one of them!

How do you spend your spare time?
My spare time is spent with my family, swimming, wine tasting, going to the movies, and watching my Seattle Seahawks during football season. Football in our house is cut-throat since we have Steelers, Patriots and Cowboys fans competing against my Seahawks!

You might be surprised to learn that I am very Italian! My coloring reflects my mom's Danish genes, but I talk with my hands like a typical Italian.
