"In the Asian and Pacific Islander communities, they are not getting the services they need because of a lack of access or language barriers," Suh said.
Suh serves on a variety of volunteer boards that advocate victim's rights.
She is on the board of directors of the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, a statewide coalition of domestic violence service providers.
"We work on policy issues," Suh said.
"We work on strengthening California laws and resources for domestic violence."
"She is a very hard worker and she is very committed to helping women who are in violent situations," May Ma Ross, president of the Center for the Asian Family board of directors, said.
"She's just a tireless advocate."
As a committee member for the Los Angeles County Domestic Violence Council, Suh has also worked to establish a task force to identify housing for survivors of domestic violence, Olivia Rodriguez, executive director of the Los Angeles County Domestic Violence Council, said.
Suh's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. She was recently honored with the "Local Hero of the Year" award for her volunteerism and contribution to social service.
"I think they chose me because I serve in a very unique agency," Suh said.
"I feel they wanted to bring out to light and recognize what we are doing."
Suh's motivation for her advocacy stems from her role as a parent.
"The biggest thing is my children," she said.
"I feel an urgency to make sure our community is safe as they grow. Hopefully, I'm helping my kids to be resilient."
When she is not striving for victim's rights, Suh can be found in her daughter's classroom as an art docent. She also volunteers her time to help check students' homework assignments.
"I've grown a lot as a person," Suh, said of her work. "I've learned to be a better parent."
