While completing her master’s Sue started serving on the Mennonite Nurses Alumni Organization board and has been with the group ever since. She currently is serving as president-elect and serves on the MNAO Awards committee to select the recipients of the college’s four award categories. Sue also started working on the America’s Promise School project in her master's program and is still involved to this day.

Sue also works as a nursing clinical faculty member for ISU and Illinois Wesleyan. Prior to this, she was the supervisor of community health services at the McLean County Health Department until she retired.

Sue is a proud Redbird and loves that ISU plays such a prominent role in the community and is known across the country as having a top nursing program.
