Susie arrived from China with her family in 1987 and has lived in Launceston for thirty-six years. She co-owns and manages a Chinese restaurant business with her husband and is a mother of three children. Since the age of eleven Susie has worked in her parents and now in her own restaurant. She was educated in Launceston at Glen Dhu Primary, Queechy High and Launceston College. Susie has an understanding of and concern for members of the community who must deal with health and financial challenges affecting their daily lives. Homelessness and creating safer communities are high priorities.
Her personal experiences have always motivated her to act on behalf of people who may feel powerless and to work co-operatively with council to improve the circumstances of those experiencing disadvantage.
“Fairness and equity are always what I seek to achieve around the council table. It is an honour to be a member of the council team. I work hard to achieve open and fair representation. I take my responsibilities as a member of the council team seriously.
I am proud of Launceston and its natural and built heritage. There is still much to do to ensure Launceston is measured in its progress yet imaginative in making it a happier and safer city in which to live.”
