Hillary Rhodes

Sales and Marketing Director

Hillary has a heart for helping others and feels truly honored to serve seniors and their families as the Director of Sales and Marketing at Legacy Ridge Marietta.

This role allows her to guide families with honesty, empathy, and understanding through each stage of their journey.

Outside of work, Hillary loves spending time with her fur baby—Loki, a 9-year-old Lab-Australian Shepherd mix. They love hiking to waterfalls, paddle boarding on sunny days, and camping whenever they can sneak away for a weekend adventure. At home, she is a proud “plant lady” who loves helping her little jungle thrive; she finds it incredibly fulfilling to watch new leaves unfurl. When she isn’t tending to her plants, she can usually be found reading a good thriller or streaming the latest rom-com.
