About New Albany

She has lived in New Albany since 2001 with her husband, Jonathan, and their 2 children who are both in the New Albany school district. Christy has a Health Service Administration degree from Ohio University and an MBA from Ashland University.

Linda Finn, Area Director
Linda Finn, a native New Yorker moved from Omaha, NE to Ohio eight years ago. She immediately loved the “small town” feel of New Albany and looked for an opportunity to get involved in the community. New Albany Bridges filled that need and she has been a consistent donor. Having the ability to remove barriers for our neighbors especially children is so fulfilling. Recently when approached with the opportunity to become an Area Director she realized that she could make even a bigger difference. Linda resides in New Albany with her husband Kevin and three children Conor, Katie and Megan. Linda is very excited to promote kindness in our community through New Albany Bridges!
Laura Hill, Area Director
Laura feels helping and respecting the dignity of others is our commission on Earth. She has volunteered throughout her life starting in her hometown of Brookhaven, MS. Through her churches, women's groups, and teaching, she has served her communities in Mississippi, New York, Boston, and New Albany. Laura received her B.S. in English Education from Mississippi State University and masters degree from State University of NY, New Paltz. Teaching middle and high school in NY brought her close to students and their families who were struggling, furthering her desire to volunteer and give. Laura, her husband, Al, and their two children moved to New Albany and became active members of All Saints Episcopal Church in 2000 and have relished being part of a community that cares for, nourishes, and respects all people.
