Sue trained as a nurse and worked for a number of years in community health projects in Nepal. After returning to New Zealand in 1997, she completed her Master of Public Health, worked in the Dunedin School of Medicine's AIDS Epidemiology Group, and on a number of different research projects in the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine.
After completing a PhD at the end of 2012, Sue joined the Centre for International Health (CIH) and worked with the Tuberculosis (TB) Research Group based in Bandung, Indonesia, until June 2016. She is now based once again in the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine in Dunedin, working part-time in the CIH on TB-related projects, and part-time in the AIDS Epidemiology Group.
Research interests include HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, international health, and socioeconomic and quality of life consequences of illness.
