About Susan
I received my RN degree from Stark State College in Ohio. I was the practice manager for a surgeon for
several years and have worked many years with residents and patients in rehab, skilled nursing, hospice,
assisted living, home care, and in the staff education field. I’m excited to have the opportunity to
enhance the lives of residents at the Hammocks on the Edisto.
I was born in Ohio and after raising my family there moved to the Charleston area with my 2 children
twelve years ago. I love the outdoors, animals and enjoy finding new and exciting things to do in the Low
Country area.
I enjoy helping and getting to know residents and their families and knowing that I’ve made a positive
difference in their health and recovery.
