Sue has had extensive experience of working in both gender and the environment, on many industry, government and educational committees and Boards over the years.  She was Director of Swinburne University’s Centre for Gender and Cultural Diversity where she worked in dense masculinities : those male-dominated and technology-based industries that include the military through to engineering and fire-fighting organisations.  This involved undertaking organisational research and designing and delivering organisational and educational change programs in such difficult environments.

Sue also has a strong background in environmental science through her undergraduate and post-graduate education as well as her lecturing experience in environmental science at Rusden, RMIT and Swinburne universities.  As a biologist she has always been passionate about our unique and wonderful flora and fauna and her drive to conserve and regenerate our precious Victorian and Australian forests through campaigns to stop native forest logging now.
