This exceptional academic achievement was a testament to her dedication and natural aptitude.
Aside from her academic pursuits, Sue-Lynn grew up in California, where she was involved in various extracurricular activities, including rodeos, varsity swimming, 4-H, musical theater, ballet, and martial arts. Her parents, who were hardworking and dedicated to their careers, instilled in her a strong sense of discipline and responsibility.
Sue-Lynn's mother, a nurse, had a distinguished military career in the Singapore Army, while her stepfather, a 35-year California State Law officer, served in the United States Army. This exposure to the military and its values had a profound impact on Sue-Lynn's life and career.
In 2001, Sue-Lynn received a call that would change the course of her life forever. The day after September 11th, she received a call that would lead her to pursue a career in the military.
