Susan Kim joined the City of La Habra in November 2021 and appreciates the caring community that is evident both inside and outside of City Hall, as well as from being a member of the La Habra Rotary Club. Susan came to La Habra after working for the City of Anaheim for over 23 years, where she managed the city’s long-range planning, regional planning, housing policy, interagency and interdepartmental projects, specific plans, and environmental review. Susan holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Geography from the University of Colorado and a Master’s Degree in Planning from the University of Southern California, and is a member of American Institute of Certified Planners. Prior to working at Anaheim, Susan was an intern for the City of Commerce and the Boulder County Land Use Department. Before she committed to a career in planning, Susan was a Park Ranger for one summer and an Elementary School Teacher for five years. Susan enjoys traveling, hiking, reading, practicing yoga and Pilates, trying out new restaurants, drinking a good cup of coffee or craft beer, and spending time with friends and family.
