Sarah Hill
Sarah Hill, Executive Director (She/Her)
With a degree in Psychology and a nursing license, my passion for human services has been shaped by both professional experience and deeply personal roots. Growing up in a home with two blind parents, I developed a profound sense of empathy and a lifelong drive to advocate for others. That foundation has guided me through over 15 years in nursing and human services.
I joined the DAC in June 2023, driven by a desire to continue helping others in a more meaningful way. What I found was more than just a job—I found my forever home away from home. I initially served as the Program Director before being appointed Interim Executive Director in October 2023, and in December, I had the honor of being named Executive Director by our Full Board.
I truly believe that everyone deserves great things in life—and the individuals we serve deserve the world. My mission is to help ensure they receive just that: the opportunities, respect, and support they need to thrive.
