We had the good fortune of connecting with Martina Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Martina, what do you want people to remember about you?
My legacy will be that I loved and supported children and their families no matter the obstacles . People will remember that I was always filled by the passion to bridge the gaps in education and child/adolescent development . While doing so I never make excuses I just find every way possible to provide kids the best quality of care that they truthfully need and deserve.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My entire career has been spent working with children . From summer camp leaders as a teenager to a masters leveled professional at schools . As a first generation student it was not easy overcoming the navigation of the different systems and route to obtain this successfully . However, I still overcame the challenges because passion fuels me . Thinking about the impact that I knew was in me kept me moving to achieve my goals . Along the way I have learned that integrity , perseverance, and diligence are major instruments in being successful. I want the world to know that The Mindful Child LLC was build with children in mind . The company was built by an individual who’s passion goes way beyond the surface level affects of its impact. Every child deserves to reach their greatest potential and I want a front seat ride to making it happen and that is exactly what my story , passion and commitment will do for the future of youth education and development .

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting me one of the first thing we would do is get food and drinks from a spot like TapThat (downtown Phx) , Loco Patron , or Angry Crab shack . Throughout the week we would visit places that have an amazing scenery like Sedona and Grand Canyon. Additionally , we would do one of my favorite activities, an escape room . Old town Scottsdale is an area that I frequent when having guest because the scenery, activities , wine tasting , and scooters in the area gives an eclectic experience.
