Suzanne's background is working in the computer industry as an engineer and an IT Manager.  It wasn't until a trip to the Australian Open in 2009 that Suzanne got inspired to get back into tennis playing at Regional 2 and later Regional 1 level for Titahi Bay.

Having spent the last couple of years working as a tennis coach part time she then made the career change to go full time at the Renouf Tennis Centre and at the Miramar Tennis Club. Suzanne was running many programmes with Juniors and Adults of all levels and ages. During that time she acquired her Associate Junior Coach qualification.
