about me
Hi friends, I am Megan Kingsley. Most of my friends call me Meg or just Kingsley, whichever you fancy is fine by me! I am a passionate people person living in Atlanta, GA with my awesome fiance and my cute puppy named Bailey. I love Jesus, food, volunteering, and the people who I surround myself with; they are my greatest blessing.
I love eating food, and recently I discovered that my new passion is finding new recipes, looking for inspiration, and spending my free time in the kitchen making something new and fun. Additionally, I am teaching myself a ton of new topics in marketing – and it’s hard! I am probably most known for my swimming career – I swam club in South Carolina, then had a successful collegiate career at my dream school, the University of Georgia (go Dawgs!!). After I graduated, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and to pursue my goal to become a professional swimmer. After five months out of the pool, I moved back to Athens to chase my dream and reach my goals.
