Before co-founding Elegant E-Learning, Marina began her career path at Tri-Media Integrated Marketing Technologies Inc., where she started as a quality assurance specialist. She was then promoted to quality assurance manager and worked as a project manager for five years. In this position, Marina helped launch multiple complex projects, including online e-booking services (e.g., Parks Canada) and e-commerce (e.g., Boathouse apparel stores). She drew on her years of experience in project management, personnel relations, and operating procedures when she co-founded Elegant E-Learning – knowledge she now uses in day-to-day operations.

Suzanne was born in the United States and has been a nurse for over thirty years. She has worked in various settings, including hospital, outpatient, and long-term care facilities and university research programs. Her work experience includes acute settings requiring high medical expertise, such as Intensive Care Units and units handling medical-surgical, chemical dependency, and neurological issues. Suzanne has also worked in settings requiring large amounts of human compassion, such as facilitating families dealing with bereavement in organ and tissue donation and transplantation. She also managed the clinical responsibilities while working with donations and transplants, managing donor hemodynamics, and coordinating the placement of organs to waiting recipients. Suzanne is a member of the American Nurses Association, the Association of Health Care Journalists, and the American Medical Writers Association. She has chaired the Family Services Committee for the National Kidney Foundation and served on a national certification examination committee.

At Elegant E-Learning, Suzanne is our medical expert who created the test questions for our CNA.plus and Nurse.plus sites and apps, writes the articles for the properties, and handles user questions. On a day-to-day basis, you’ll find her updating questions on our medical properties and responding to feedback from our users with answers and encouragement for their future CNA and nursing careers.

Marina was born in Belarus and attended Minsk State Linguistic University, where she majored in English and German and graduated cum laude. Since then, she has worked in several positions in the field of communications: as a teacher of English communication skills, as the Cambridge TEFL OE Team Leader for Belarus, and as the Director of Studies at the International House, Minsk.

Her recent promotion to Vice President of Customer Success in 2022 will allow her to continue executing the effective customer care and retention strategies she has developed. More importantly, this will allow her even more creative freedom to provide the best possible experience for our customers.
