Maria Hill

Maria Hill joins the Emeril Lagasse Foundation as our Event Coordinator, bringing with her a passion for creating meaningful, memorable experiences that connect people and build community.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of Iowa, where her love for storytelling first took root. Her career in the nonprofit sector began with an internship at Edible Schoolyard and has included meaningful work with City Park Conservancy and Communities In Schools—experiences that deepened her commitment to mission-driven work and community engagement.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find her out for a run, baking something sweet, or spending time with her dog, Popeye.
