Driven by a desire to help others, Meagan Morales Hill ’13, MBA ’14 enrolled at Dominican to become a teacher, but a natural talent for math changed her plans.
Finding success in her first accounting class, she changed her major to accounting and the rest was history.
“Math was always a favorite subject of mine in high school. I went into accounting class and I thought, ‘Yeah, I like this. This makes sense,’” she said.
This led Hill on a path to business, and after completing Dominican’s MBA program, she began working at US Foods—one of the largest foodservice distributors in the U.S.—in various accounting roles. She quickly moved up the career ladder and currently serves as a senior project and change manager, leading the execution of key projects and strategic initiatives. Last year, she was named to the Women’s Foodservice Forum Change Makers Class of 2024, a distinction recognizing women who make a difference in their field, exemplify inclusive leadership and represent the future of the foodservice industry.
Hill also continues to feed her passion for helping others reach their full potential. She’s been involved in several mentorship roles at US Foods, including managing the company’s finance internship program and postgraduate three-year development program. She also served as president of the Hispanic and Latino employee resource group for more than two years before becoming an advisor for the current leadership team.
“Even though I didn’t become a teacher, I’m still finding ways where I can influence and impact people,” she noted.
This, too, began at Dominican, where she minored in philosophy and honed her ethical leadership skills through hands-on opportunities like Ethics Bowl matches against other schools. She credits these learning experiences for laying the groundwork for who she is today.
“Caritas Veritas is doing things in the right way, doing things right by people,” she explained. “Being grounded in that as one of my core values shows up in how I do my work today with morals and ethics. I feel like Dominican taught me that.”
