With her dad, she’s also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and with her mom she’s worked with Hively.

"I MAINTAIN DEDICATED RELATIONSHIPS."

Mackenzie has a strong reputation for her compassion towards others. She cares a lot about people and always tend to put others first. This trait, and of course her love for soccer, has driven Mackenzie to Girls Soccer Worldwide.

Mackenzie's communication is one of her unique qualities and definitely sets her a part. When you talk with her you have no doubt relationships are one of her core values and this is showcased in the way she shows up in conversation. When she talks, emails, or even texts, other people are able to grasp her intentions. She has been recently told that a text she sent "was obviously sent with a smile." She is compassionate, engaged, and you know you matter by the way she listens.

She also feeds her energy through music and Drake is at the top of her list. Relating to him in many ways she has been drawn to his story since she was young. Because of this, his music brings a sense of comfort.
