Susan Buettgenback
Regional Coordinator
Susan has been working with children and their families for over 30 years.
A Nebraska native, Susan graduated from what is now the University of Nebraska at Kearney with a K-6 teaching degree and minor in Sociology. After teaching preschool and substituting in various school systems, Susan helped to develop the Even Start Family Literacy Program in Alliance, NE. After a move to Ord, Nebraska, Susan taught Head Start for five years before becoming the owner/operator of a small child care center.
In 2012, Susan moved to Wyoming with her husband and three children. She first joined the Wyoming Parents as Teachers family in 2013 as a Family Support Specialist, then became the Natrona County Program Coordinator in 2016. Having the opportunity to help create a Parents as Teachers Home Visiting Program and share its strengths-based curriculum with families and other agencies has truly been a rewarding experience. Susan appreciates the way this program helps parents to believe in themselves and become advocates for their children.
