She began working in the State Legislature in 1996 where, over time, she worked both for the State Assembly and the State Senate. During Susan's longstanding tenure in the Assembly, she worked for seven different Assembly Speakers.

During her years working in the Legislature, Susan served as Chief of Staff to multiple legislators, served as a District Director and served in a number of roles for the Assembly Democratic Caucus: as a Consultant, Chief Deputy, and ultimately the Director.
