Sue strongly believes in the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle and tries to lead by example. Hockey (both Ice and Roller), volleyball, hiking, capoeira, tennis and more recently swimming/water polo are some of her favorite activities. However, Sue is also learning to balance her active lifestyle with learning to pause, slow down, and practice mindfulness. In her spare time, she tries to keep up with her super active son and attempts to travel and see the world with her family.
