“I help to make the complex simple and the simple compelling“

Sue is the author / illustrator (authorstrator) of a series of ocean-science picture books:

These stories excite, engage, educate and empower children about our living oceans and their underwater wonders. Sue’s alter ego Dr Suzie Starfish (Author/Illustrator) uses the art of marine science and storytelling to bring our ‘Living Oceans’ into classrooms. 

Sue also has over 15 years experience in research and development, marine conservation planning, natural resource management and strategic planning due to the varied roles she has held across Government and Research Organisations.
