In her twitter bio, she says: "涼と書いてすずみと読みます. " (I write 涼 and read it すずみ). So her name is Suzumi.

As you know, each kanji character can be read in two ways: in the Chinese reading ("on-yomi") and in the Japanese reading ("kun-yomi"). 涼 is read "ryo" in on-yomi, and "suzu" in kun-yomi. Suzumi is a nominalization of a verb suzumu (涼む = "cool oneself"). Suzumi is usually written "涼み", but possibly shortened to "涼" when used as the name of a person.
