At Hallie Hill, the care our animals receive each day is made possible by the people who show up with compassion, patience, and a genuine love for what they do.

We are grateful to introduce one of the newest members of our team, Lacey Ahlers.

Lacey joins Hallie Hill as an Animal Care Provider, where she plays an important role in the daily care and comfort of the animals who call the sanctuary home. From quiet moments of connection to the steady routines that help animals feel safe, her presence is already making a meaningful impact.

She is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Biology at Charleston Southern University. Her passion for animals extends beyond the classroom and into every part of her life. Whether she is paddleboarding, hiking, or rock climbing, Lacey feels most at home outdoors and connected to the natural world.

Looking ahead, she hopes to continue her education and earn a Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences and Policy. Her goals reflect a deep commitment to both animals and the environment, values that align closely with the heart of Hallie Hill.

We are thankful to have Lacey as part of our community and to have her walking alongside us in this work.

If you see Lacey during your next visit, we hope you will take a moment to say hello and help us welcome her to the team.
