Susan Aksu-Magarian

Susan Aksu-Magarian is Benztown’s Director of Marketing and has been with the team since 2018. She received her BA in Journalism and Mass Communication with an emphasis in broadcast from Humboldt State University where she began her adventure in radio. She started with a show on KRFH-FM, the student-run radio station and volunteering regularly with KHSU-FM, the local NPR affiliate station and later at Indie 103.1 and KPFK Pacifica radio in Los Angeles as a writer and researcher for Uprising with Sonali.

After a few detours, some due to unfortunate circumstances and others blessings in disguises, Susan realized a love for marketing and branding after establishing a successful travel-related website. Eight years later, she found her way to Benztown, where she is now able to combine her love for marketing and radio into an exciting career path.

When Susan is not working, she’s spending time in the outdoors, going to shows and finding new yummy recipes to cook up!
