Sue began her working career as an Occupational Therapist in her homeland, Australia.  Following this career path for close to ten years in Canada the entrepreneurial urge overcame her health care focus and she started and successfully operated boutique restaurants and catering businesses in Vancouver for many years.

In the late eighties, together with her husband she bought the Grocery Store in Whistler, a highly successful retail grocery business.  Ten years later the company opened a second, equally successful location in Pemberton.  Sue’s primary focus is managing partner of the Pemberton Valley Supermarket.

She serves on the Executive for a number of not-for-profit arts and cultural boards both in Vancouver and Whistler. Currently Sue is a Director on the Board of the Whistler Development Corporation and the Whistler Institute.

A long-time supporter of businesswomen’s networking associations in Vancouver and Whistler she has also participated with the Women’s Enterprise Centre as a speaker and mentor for women in business.  In 2007 Sue was awarded the Business in Vancouver, Influential Women in Business Award. In 2015 she was recognised with the Freedom of the Municipality of Whistler for her contribution to Arts, Culture, and small business.
