She is deeply invested in zero-waste efforts, focusing on using local and seasonal ingredients, and repurposing food scraps in her dishes. Chef Hill's journey began early, as she grew up cooking with her family and turned her passion into a professional pursuit. After culinary school, she gained experience in several prestigious restaurants across San Diego County, including George’s at the Cove, Juniper & Ivy, Tidal Restaurant, Trust Restaurant, Waterbar, and Nolita Hall, before becoming the Executive Chef at Lilian’s at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.
