    Maggie joined American Hiking in 2022 and has worked in the outdoor, travel, and wellness/lifestyle space for over a decade as a writer and social media strategist. A born and raised east-coaster but a mountain girl at heart, Maggie has enjoyed living on the East Coast and in the Mountain West and is currently based in North Carolina.

    When she's not mulling over content strategies, you'll likely find Maggie hiking with her husband and dog, paddle boarding, or tending to her garden. As a long-time vegan, she's especially proud of her homegrown vegetable and fruit harvests.
