Before her stint with Hi-5, she toured with the live act BPM - Beats Per Minute that fused funk, rock, jazz and hip hop music, and worked with the Australian band Rogue Traders, alongside the now very successful Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

In 2006, she was hired as a temporary replacement for entertainer Kathleen de Leon Jones in the children's entertainment group Hi-5, and was announced as a permanent replacement in 2007 when de Leon confirmed she would not be returning to the group. In December 2008, Sun announced that she would be leaving Hi-5 after three years with the group in order to concentrate on settling down and starting a family. She also expressed that she felt she was only ever meant to be a temporary replacement for Kathleen. Sun's final performance with the group was at the 2008 Carols by Candlelight.
