I’m McKenzie, a Long Island–based marketing, communications, and media professional. I started in journalism, where I learned how to ask the right questions and tell a clear story. My MBA in Marketing added the strategy behind that work.
I like being involved from the first idea through the final details—whether I’m writing, producing, researching, planning an event, or finding the best way to reach an audience.
