Meet our dedicated ImmerseNYC Team
Susan Zizmor, Scheduling Coordinator
Susan (she/her) has been a proud Upper West Sider since 1991. She holds a BA in fashion merchandising and worked in production/manufacturing in the garment industry for over two decades. She retired from the fashion world to focus on raising her son and to spend more time with her family. Susan began volunteering at her local CSA and actively works with her therapy dog, Arrow, at hospitals and schools around the city. Susan also took a more active role at her synagogue, Congregation Rodeph Sholom, where she learned about ImmerseNYC. Her first experience with mikveh was during her conversion to Judaism in 2005. After meeting Rabbi Sara Luria, ImmerseNYC founder, Susan was inspired to become a Mikveh Guide and introduce others to this powerful ritual. Susan is thrilled to be working with the JCC and ImmerseNYC to facilitate meaningful experiences for all people interested in mikveh. Susan lives on the Upper West Side with her husband, Brad, and their son, Ezra.
