AGE: 24
LOCATION: Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands
FANCLUB DUTIES : Reporter & Web design
ABOUT: Suzanne was born on August 4, 1985 in the Netherlands. She became a fan of Michael Jackson when she was just 4 years old and saw him on television. Years later in 2005, Suzanne traveled to Santa Maria, CA to support him during his trial, and continued traveling to see him in the years to come. In 1996 she watched a Janet Jackson special on MTV and was hooked on Janet. Although a big supporter, she wasn't a big 3t fan until she saw and met 3t in Paradiso (Amsterdam) in 2002 and found them to be surprisingly laid back and kind to the fans. After our tragic loss on June 25, 2009, she realised she wanted to fully support the Jackson Family and keep Michael's legacy alive. That's how she got in touch with Lucinda and was asked to join the TNG crew in 2009.
OCCUPATION:  Suzanne currently works as a travel agent at a major travel agency in the Netherlands.

I really fell in love with her style, her dancing, her songs, her clips ... EVERYTHING! My dream is to one day meet Janet Jackson. I attended Janet's concert in Sydney and got FRONT ROW TICKETS to the show! This was one of the best days in my life!I fell in love with 3T when they released 'Anything'. I had their posters hung up on my walls and I used to tell everyone I was going to marry TJ! hehe. I wanted to join the TNG Fanclub crew because being a BIG fan of the Jackson family, I wanted to make sure that I supported them and shared as much news and resources regarding the family to other fans around the world especially after Michael's death, I really felt like I had to do something! So here I am :)
