Susan is a medical graduate of the University of Otago with a Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatrics (University of Auckland), Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine (James Cook University, Australia), and a PhD in Epidemiology (University of Otago).
From 1994–2010 Susan lived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where she was part of setting up a non-government organisation undertaking community health and development work among urban poor communities. Susan also did consultancy work for the World Health Organization, USAID, and Tearfund UK in Cambodia and other countries in Asia. She then worked for four years at the WHO Cambodia office as medical officer for Child Survival and later as acting team leader for the Maternal, Child Health and Nutrition team. Susan returned to New Zealand in late 2010 to complete her PhD and undertake Public Health Physician training. She has continued to do consultancy work for WHO in the Solomon Islands in the area of maternal and child health.
Susan's interests include effective translation of evidence into policy, strategy, implementation, and evaluation of public health programmes in under-resourced settings. Her research interests include anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies, child under-nutrition, and effectiveness of maternal and child health interventions.
