Kristal Hudson-Randall found her way to Charleston after 10 moves from her birthplace of Chicago. She spent 30 years leading complex IT initiatives, with dozens of clients in various industries, including Government, Healthcare, Finance, Insurance, and Oil and Gas; successfully managing complex teams and delivering multi-million-dollar projects on time and on budget. After 30 years, she transitioned into the classroom as a 6th grade English teacher. After a year, she fully retired and soon began taking classes with the Charleston Academy for Lifelong Learning–part of the Center for Creative Retirement.
The topic of Kristal’s talk today: Why we should take the “retire” out of retirement.
