Mackenzie’s love for theatre grew and led her to Pennsylvania Youth Theatre where she trained with like-minded silly soul-ed young-in’s like herself. Eventually, she flew south to North Carolina where she studied theatre and music at Elon University. There, theory and criticism expanded what Mackenzie thought theatre could be, as did her time studying abroad in Florence, Italy under the tutelage of world-renowned soprano, Susanna Rigacci, at the Accademia Europea Di Firenze.

Since graduating, Mackenzie has continued to train as a performer through the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and Ashley Hiester School of Music, and as an intimacy choreographer through Theatrical Intimacy Education. She has also taught, choreographed, directed, consulted, and stage managed, but it is in performance, specifically song, that her authentic heart is at its most vulnerable and powerful. For Mackenzie, it is transformative to exist in that highly charged place where stories live and where she desires to be preferably for a long, long time.
