Early life and education

Sud was born in Toronto[2] to Mohendra Sud, a physician born in India.[1] She grew up in Indian Hill, Ohio,[1] a suburb near Cincinnati, Ohio.[3][4] She is of Filipino and Indian heritage.[5] Sud graduated from Cincinnati Country Day School in 1985[1] and attended Barnard College, where she studied political science and women's studies[6][7] and served as university senator.[8] After graduating from Barnard in 1989, she spent several years working as a journalist at Pacifica Radio and at the media-watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.[7] When she was 28, she enrolled at New York University's film school and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Film and Television program at NYU.[7]

After graduation, she directed MTV's The Real World for one year and later moved to Los Angeles.[7] She was an episode writer for the 2002 television series Push, Nevada before it got cancelled. She met Meredith Stiehm, the creator of the CBS police drama Cold Case, who hired her as a writer. Three years later, she became the show’s executive producer.[7]

Her credits on The Killing also include writer and executive producer. The series earned her an Emmy nomination and a Writers Guild of America award nomination.[9][10] In February 2012, Paramount Pictures announced that Sud is writing a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion.[11]
