Susan describes herself as a "mishmash of continents." Her mother is from Ireland, Europe, and her father is from Cameroon in West Africa. Enhancing her international background, she received early education through the French system before attending high school and pursuing further studies at the Conservatory of Music and Drama in Dublin.
In 2007, Susan was selected as one of the top ten participants on the acclaimed Irish documentary series Hollywood Trials, chosen by audition coach Margie Haber, award-winning director Declan Lowney (known for Little Britain, Father Ted, Cold Feet, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa), and casting director Ros Hubbard (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Lord of the Rings, The Commitments, Lara Croft). After the series, she signed with the prestigious management company Vincent Cirrincione Associates, which represents A-list talents such as Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez, and Taraji P. Henson.
Susan’s screen credits include roles in Martin McDonagh's In Bruges, Following Footsteps, and 50k and a Call Girl, directed by Seth Grossman, with whom she collaborated again on Inner Demons. Her television appearances feature the BBC’s Holby City and RTE’s award-winning The Clinic, where she starred opposite Aidan Turner (Being Human, The Hobbit). On the popular Irish TV series Fair City, viewers may recognize her as Kim, a lap dancer with a conscience who helped detectives uncover the soap’s first illegal brothel. She has also performed in numerous stage productions, including the acclaimed Plays in the Park at the Santa Monica Playhouse, alongside Ed Asner, Mark Rydell, George Segal, and Beege Barkette.
