Megan Hughes
My family moved to Knoxville in the summer of 2022, and we are enjoying making it feel like home! We love the parks and greenways and have enjoyed visiting all the ice cream shops to find our favorites. (Current fav: Sugar Queen Creamery and UT Creamery). I enjoy college sports and spend a lot of time watching them in person and on TV. I also love words and stories, so you’ll find me with my nose in a book at any free moment. I truly value authentic and vulnerable conversations and I love to visit with new and old friends while we get a coffee (or hot chocolate in my case) and talk about the highs and lows of life.
