Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Mackenzie spent three and a half years studying Theatre Arts at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. While growing up in a small town, she was able to be a leader in the small, but successful high school drama department while gaining experience in acting, stage management, technical design and production, and theatre education.
As she continued her theatrical career at Emerson, she took advantage of the opportunities the school and the city of Boston had to offer. She took an arts management course her sophomore year and was hooked. Under the supervision of advisor Julie Hennrikus (Executive Director of StageSoure, Former General Manager of Emerson Stage), Mackenzie pursued every arts management opportunity she could get her hands on.
Since then, she has worked extensively with Emerson Stage, spent a year interning for SpeakEasy Stage Company , worked in both the Box Office and Business Office of ArtsEmerson, and spent time as a stage manager at Columbus Children’s Theatre. Having been the Company Manager at Olney Theatre Center and Shakespeare Theatre Company in the Washington, D.C. area, she's currently the Assistant Company Manager for the national tour of Rodger and Hammerstein's Cinderella.
