HI, I’M SUSAN CHILDS

I was invited to join HTP in November 2021, shortly after retiring from my career in nursing. Prior to my nursing career I was a graphic artist and enjoyed being surrounded by creative artistic co-workers. My life-long desire to be a nurse eventually won out … I returned to school and enjoyed a very rewarding nursing career for 26 years. 

My father was a civil engineer, and our living room was his second office with his drafting table including various tools of the trade. I used to help him with tracings occasionally. So, in one way or another I have been associated with graphics and design for a lot of my life. I feel very fortunate to once again be surrounded by a creative group of people. 

The pace is very different from my experience as an operating room nurse, but it is the perfect retirement job for me.

Aside from HTP I enjoy volunteering at a food bank twice a week, cooking, gardening, hiking, and my involvement with The Seed And Feed Marching Abominable Band performing around Atlanta.
