She graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1987 from Villanova University, where she was an editor of the student newspaper The Villanovan.[1] She earned a master's degree in investigative journalism from Ohio State University on a Kiplinger Fellowship in 1992.[2][3]

Before joining The Baltimore Sun, Sugg was a reporter with the Associated Press in Philadelphia, the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in South Carolina, and the Sacramento Bee.[2][4][5] In 1990, while covering crime in Sacramento, Sugg collapsed and has since battled strokes and seizures.[6]
