Megan Hill

My name is Megan Hill. I grew up in Houston, Texas, but now I live in St. George, Utah about 30 minutes away from Zions National Park. I have a little toddler named Nate and my life has become pretty centered around him and I wouldn't have it any other way. For fun, I enjoy cooking and baking, walking/jogging and hiking, crafting, reading, and cleaning (yes I’m serious!). During this pandemic, I have definitely found more time to enjoy my indoors-y hobbies and Pinterest has become a dear friend. I have my Bachelors in Public Health and will have my Masters in Public Health by April 2021. I have also been an AFAA certified group fitness instructor specializing in Mat Pilates, HIIT, and Tabata.
