Susi completed an MBA and worked in the private sector for several years.  She moved to London in 1996 to do an MSc in Development Studies, hoping to transfer her skills into the voluntary sector.  She worked for the Colombia project and spent a year as a PBI volunteer in Mexico, and has been running the PBI UK office since 1998. She says, “As a field volunteer I was deeply touched by the strength of spirit and courage of the human rights defenders I had the privilege to accompany…their commitment to justice went often beyond the fear of losing their own lives".
