She has counseled these companies on compliance issues and guided litigation before administrative tribunals and in court.

She has served on numerous government and association committees including the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Environmental Committee (1983-2008), the Indiana Manufacturers Association Environmental Legal & Technical Advisory Committee (1988-2008), the Indiana Recycling and Energy Development Board (1988-1992), the Indiana’s Environmental Crimes Task Force (2005-2007), and Purdue's Agronomy Advisory Council. Sue was inducted in the National Solid Waste Management Association’s Indiana Hall of Fame in 1992. She was listed as an Indiana "Super Lawyer" for Environmental Law starting in 1999 and was named a Top 25 Female Indiana "Super Lawyer" from 2004 to 2010. Sue was named a Distinguished Agricultural Alumni in 2000. She received the Indiana State Bar Association Women in the Law Committee’s 2003 Achievement Award in 2003. She was named a Distinguished Fellow of the Indianapolis Bar Foundation in 2006 and featured in the Indianapolis Women Magazine as one of the women making a difference in teh law and in Purdue University's Argicultures Winter magazine as a Purdue alumni in ag law in an article on Life on the Farm Not so Simple Anymore. Sue received an AV peer review rating by Martindale-Hubbell. Sue received her B.S. (Environmental Science) from Purdue University in 1974. She earned her J.D. from the Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington in 1977. Sue was an Attorney for Indiana University from 1977-1978. Over the next decade, Sue held a serious of key environmental law positions in Indiana government.
