Susan Malemezian

Susan joined the Uniting Hope in March of 2024. She has a Bachelors of Arts in Sociology from Furman University and a Master of Social Work from Georgia State. Susan is passionate about foster care, particularly working with individuals and families to open their homes for children. For 5 years, Susan and her family fostered and they think of this time as the best thing they have ever done as a family. Susan loves meeting with individuals and families, hearing their stories, writing their home study and walking them through all the steps necessary to open their home and hearts for children in care. She considers it a gift to do this work. One morning a week you can also find Susan teaching citizenship classes to refugee women in Clarkston. In her free time, Susan loves being outside with her family, cheering her kids on in all their activities, sharing meals around the kitchen table and hiking anywhere with her husband.
