Suzzy was raised in Washington State where she worked as a sheet metal mechanic for Boeing before moving to Maui. In 1983 she vacationed on Maui where she booked a scuba charter with Ed Robinson.   The rest is history.

She soon moved to Maui and became partners in life and in business with Ed Robinson. She began her new career as an underwater model, a divemaster, and a boat captain for Ed Robinson's Diving Adventures.

In the late '80s she became the driving force in organizing and running international dive trips to the South Pacific. It was also at this time that she met Ann Fielding and began covering Ann's "Snorkel Maui" business while Ann was away on her own international trips.

In 2001 Suzzy added a new dimension to her life when she became a certified personal trainer. She continued her education and became a Pilates instructor in 2005.

Suzzy also continues to work with Ann Fielding, as well as run her own snorkel tours on Maui.
