AMANDA A. HILL
Chapter Director
I grew up here in Colorado and live in Highlands Ranch with my husband, Justin, and our two adorable yellow labs. Justin was diagnosed with FSHD in 2016 at the age of 31 and the disease has since impacted our lives greatly. I work in biomedical research and I am passionate about health and scientific education and advocacy, so becoming involved with the FSHD Society was a natural and obvious step for me. Beyond the FSHD, Justin and I love nights out in Denver; gardening and enjoying our backyard with the dogs; all things having to do with food, cooking, wine, and beer; and researching cleaner, safer, more sustainable lifestyle changes. I am honored to be the FSHD Society Chapter Director in Colorado and am excited for our community to be able to grow together.
