Biography
Hendricks was raised in New Brunswick, New Jersey[citation needed] and graduated in 1991 from the Hun School of Princeton in Princeton, New Jersey.[2] She earned a bachelor's degree in mass communications from Arizona State University.
Hendricks decided to pursue a career in television journalism after hearing Walter Cronkite speak in one of her journalism courses at Arizona State University. She started her news career in Orange County, California at Comcast Cable then headed to KESQ in Palm Springs where she was a field reporter. It was at KESQ that Hendricks was able to meet the source of her inspiration, and interviewed Walter Cronkite for a piece on KESQ.
After two years in the field she joined the NBC affiliate KMIR where she anchored a two-hour morning show. After a few years with KMIR, she headed to Atlanta and joined CNN Headline News where she anchored the weekend and primetime news shows as well. She covered breaking stories. Hendricks also acted as an entertainment correspondent. While at CNN, she also anchored a CNN interactive news site on CNN.com.
Hendricks moved back to Los Angeles from Atlanta to be part of an interactive news channel on DIRECTV. However, her work schedule and limited public exposure encouraged her to return to Headline News in September 2005.
Personal life
She is currently living in Atlanta, and is married to former HLN and CNN sports anchor Joe Carter.[3] They have one son, Jackson Patrick Carter, born in 2016.[3] She also has a daughter, Emery, from a previous marriage. Joe and Susan are involved in multiple business and philanthropy endeavors.
