She has presented many lectures and workshops on the importance of preservation of cultural materials to regional towns in NSW, Powerhouse audiences, high school students, tertiary students, textile and dress specialty groups.

Suzanne has designed and fabricated many object supports for the display and storage of textiles and historical dress from the Eighteenth Century to the present. Her research on degrading polyurethane (ES) fibre led to successful results and significant changes to long term storage of certain collections.

Since then many networks have developed and continue to strengthen. She has travelled extensively with many Powerhouse exhibitions across Australia and international locations.
