“I am very excited to be able to help Rhode Island residents realize their dreams of starting their own businesses.  The resources we offer here at the RISBDC are exceptional.”

Sue is a Business Counselor with the RISBDC, working primarily with start-up and early stage businesses throughout the state.  She joined the RISBDC in June of 2016 as Lead Office Administrator, providing outstanding support to the entire RISBDC team and managing the many details that make an office run smoothly.  Most importantly, she always made RISBDC clients her first priority and was promoted to Business Counselor in January of 2021.

Sue has worked at URI in a variety of capacities since 2006 and has had the opportunity to try on many hats along the way.  Once she joined the RISBDC and became immersed in its mission to support small business success, she was inspired to complete her undergraduate degree in Small Business Management.  “I feel very fortunate to be learning from such a professional and seasoned group of business counselors, and look forward to working with those who dream of starting their own company,” says Sue.

When she is not assisting small business owners, Sue can be found tending to her beautiful flower gardens at the home she shares with her husband in Connecticut.  She also enjoys visiting her two grown children in Rhode Island and Maine.
