Suzanne M. Peck is a Program Specialist with EducationForward. She originally joined the SERVE Center in the spring of 2022 with the National Center for Homeless Education. She has dedicated herself to “Saving the world, one reader at a time” after working in a juvenile corrections facility and realizing that most of this population struggled to read. She has worked with at-risk populations and programs ever since at the school, district, state, and national levels. Her areas of focus include early childhood education, multi-tiered systems of support, and multiple federal programs – including Title I-A, Title I-D, and EHCY.

She realizes how difficult it is to teach children when they are hungry, tired, or experiencing trauma. She received a Bachelor’s degree from Utah State University and has been an educator dedicated to serving the most vulnerable students for over 25 years.

Suzanne is an avid rockhound, lapidary artist, silversmith, and watercolorist.
