Suzanne served as an officer of the Royal Air Force, leaving in October 2015 after 19 years’ service. Commissioned into the Logistics Branch Suzanne saw service globally in support of training activities and operations, notably within the USA and Canada, the Baltic region, Macedonia and the Middle East. During this time, she was responsible for the career management, welfare, personal development and discipline of up to 200 personnel at any one time. Suzanne then joined a tri-service International Planning Team within the Ministry of Defence, and was made responsible for the continuing development of logistics liaison with Georgian, Romanian, Czech and Polish Air Force counterparts, as well as broader liaison duties within the African Union and European Union HQs.
She was then selected for a tour at Air Command where she was appointed as a Career Manager to the Logistics and Personnel Branch Officer cadre, numbering 366 Flying Officers and Flight Lieutenants.

Her final tour of duty was as an Air Force representative to NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps in Gloucestershire where she became part of a multi-national, multi-skilled team responsible for planning major exercises and operational contingency. Suzanne continues to work alongside NATO and the British Armed Forces as a freelance advisor in the design and execution of broad range of complex global training events.
