As owner and operator of VT AthletaFit, a year-old personal-training studio business located on the second floor of the Reclaimed-Poultney Community Skills Center, Hilliard offers in-person or virtual personal-training sessions, coaching advice for well-rounded fitness and training to prepare for sports or for an active lifestyle.
Hilliard has big goals for their town, county and state regarding diversity; athletics and outdoor recreation; and economic opportunities. They are committed to reducing social inequality within the state and are excited to bring to the commission their lived experiences as an LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individual.
