MacKenzie was born in Michigan but has spent the majority of her life living in Asheville, NC, which she now considers to be home. Although she loves the arts, beer, and music Asheville has to offer, it was time for a change. She moved to South Florida to attend the University of Miami, graduating with a major in Political Science and Public Relations and a minor in Marketing.

After finishing her studies, Mackenzie moved back to North Carolina to begin her career in advertising. She accepted her career job as a project manager at Element Advertising. Mackenzie helped expand the small, start-up firm as well as advance within the company.

After leaving her position at the agency, she began her career in yachting. With over 6 years of working on yachts and over 12 years working in hospitality, MacKenzie will always make you feel welcomed.
In MacKenzie’s free time, she loves anything that involves being outside, especially running, snowboarding, hiking, and scuba diving.
