Susan Santiago, Living Heartfully with Purpose and Passion

Susan Santiago is a dynamic force with a life as colorful and varied as her career. From navigating the high-stakes world of corporate troubleshooting at IBM in San Francisco to managing historic high-rises like the iconic Shell Building, Susan thrives on challenge and change. Her career spans the gamut, administering justice in the U.S. Attorney’s Office, advocating for families in the Child Support Division, and even diving into the fast-paced arena of political campaigns. For 15 years, she lent her voice to the airwaves as a passionate radio programmer at KWMR, connecting communities from Marin to the world. Today, she channels her deep commitment to fairness as a mediator, resolving conflicts in Sonoma County’s civil courts. Born with a knack for adaptation, thanks to an RCA-engineer dad who kept her childhood on the move, Susan carries that same fearless spirit into her love of competitive swimming and her relentless pursuit of justice. Whether in the pool (one of her passions), the courtroom, or the studio, she’s all about making waves—with purpose, passion, and a whole lot of heart.
