Sue’s research and oral histories have been exhibited in museums and book anthologies. Sue also has a background in child development and holistic health (certified in acupuncture, nutrition, and as a mindfulness teacher). For several years, her anthropological fieldwork involved applied behavioral analysis work and mindfulness based behavioral intervention with toddlers, special needs students K-12, and those with mental health issues.
