Writing
Sue has penned and produced hundreds of stories for a wide variety of media outlets and clients - from The Chicago Tribune to CBS News, ABC News, Entertainment Tonight, Lifetime Television, Hearst Entertainment, The New York Daily News and The New York Times. Lately, she has focused on medicine, health, and related topic, serving in 2023 as the chief editorial producer for all biomecanics/ health-related content for the biggest product launch undertaken by the respected Brooks Running Shoe company of Seattle, Washington.
The clips excerpted below represent a sample of that work. Countless additional articles, reports, white papers, and presentations lie behind corporate firewalls at McKinsey & Company, KPMG, small pharmaceuticals, major professional associations, and several nonprofits.
The thread that ties them all together is a deep love for research, knowledge, and compelling storytelling. From her first professional writing gig as a high-schooler, when she authored a weekly column for a Chicago community newspaper, to the present, she has insisted on placing real people - their lives and their experiences - at the very center of every journalistic endeavor.
Here’s a smattering of her creations:
