    Being Principal of Sam E.Hill Primary School is the culmination of my education and experience to date, and everything I’ve ever hoped for. I am privileged to work with an amazing team of early childhood educators in supporting Lonsdale's youngest learners!

    Personally

    I am the mother of two lovely daughters, aged 33 and 35. My husband and I have 7 wonderful grandchildren. We reside in Louisville with our two dogs, Katie and Oscar. My hobbies include spending time with family, being in the mountains, kayaking, and thrift store shopping.
