Hill grew up on the island of Jersey where she first became interested in journalism while working for BBC Radio Jersey.[1]
Following post graduate studies at the University of Cardiff's School of Journalism, Hill joined Central Television in Birmingham as a reporter. When the BBC established its TV news service for the Channel Islands she returned home to present the evening bulletins and to work as a reporter, presenter and producer in Jersey and Guernsey. This was followed by a move to Grimsby to work for BBC Look North for the Humber region, after which she moved to Hull,[1] where she presented the region's breakfast bulletins.[2]
After working in Hull she moved to the Yorkshire and North Midlands edition of the BBC's Look North, where she is a stand-in presenter and the programme's crime correspondent.[2] In 2009 Hill became a regional reporter for the North of England on BBC Breakfast and the BBC News Channel.
Among the high profile stories Hill worked on for Look North are the 2007 United Kingdom floods and the trial and conviction of the killer of Lesley Molseed.[2] Nationally she has covered events including the severe winter weather of 2009-10[3] and 2010-11,[4][5] and the murder of Joanna Yeates.[6]
