As a native of Mobile, NL, Suzanne is currently working for Scotia Recycling in St. John’s promoting both a safe and healthy working atmosphere for her fellow workers. Suzanne has received a Bachelor of Technology of Environmental Studies from the College of Cape Breton and a Diploma Marine Environmental Technology from the Marine Institute.

In 2001 Suzanne had the opportunity to travel South East Asia where she worked for SEAFEC (a fisheries related organization) as a fisheries support specialist. During her time, she undertook a three-month responsible fishing program and spent some time on the Indian Ocean researching tuna. As an added bonus to her exciting work experience, Suzanne was also able to travel other areas of South East Asia.

Other work experiences include participating in the delivery of environmental education to elementary and junior high students through the Marine Institute and the Avalon East School Board.
