Susan Hager and Yolanda Segovia were high school classmates at Monte Cassino High School
in Tulsa, OK.

Susan Hager
Susan lives in Frederic, WI, where she teaches dog obedience classes and is active in therapy dog
work with Mattie - her registered therapy dog with Therapy Dogs Inc. She is formerly from Tulsa, OK,
where she owned a pet-sitting business, was a member and instructor at the Tulsa Dog Training Club
and coordinator of two therapy dog programs.

Susan is an evaluator for Therapy Dogs Inc. and a Canine Good Citizen, CGC, evaluator for the
American Kennel Club. Her previous dog, a beautiful black Lab named Murphy, CGC, CD, TDIAOV,
was a nationally certified therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International.

Cookie Brigade combines two of Susan's great passions, baking and dogs. As a child,
she began baking with her maternal grandmother and never stopped. After graduating
from the University of Tulsa with a BS in Sociology, she attended the Le Cordon Bleu
London Culinary Arts Institute, where she completed the six-week intensive cooking course.
For many years she worked for exclusive catering businesses until starting her pet-sitting
business. She currently owns one dog: Mattie - a femaile black Lab, and Lucy, the tuxedo cat.

Yolanda Segovia
Like so many musicians,Yolanda’s earliest memories of childhood include music. By the age
of 12, she was working as a musician. After college, she moved to NYC and began her career
as an audition and rehearsal pianist, ultimately becoming musical director, conductor, and
supervisor for many Broadway Musicals including Dreamgirls, A Chorus Line, and Aida.

Outside the world of musical theatre, as a composer and co-owner of Emerald City Music, Inc.
with her husband, Peter Strode, she has written and arranged original music for hundreds of
national television/radio commercials.

Though currently residing in Riverdale, N,Y., throughout the years, Yolanda has always stayed
in touch with her musical friend, Susan. She is happy to be working with Susan on Cookie Brigade,
allowing old classmates an outlet for expressions of gratitude and positive activism.
