She has helped nonprofits, small businesses, and state and federal agencies in various industries, including construction, education, food and beverage, healthcare, and mobile technology, secure millions of impressions across print, radio, TV, and social media.
Mackenzie began her consulting career in Atlanta, Georgia, advising executive leadership teams in institutions of higher education after receiving her Master of City and Regional Planning from Georgia Tech. In Hawaiʻi, she led public affairs operations at Tripler Army Medical Center during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, where she developed a strong rapport with media outlets on Oʻahu. In 2021, she joined Pang Communications.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Advertising from the University of Georgia, she crafts timely and effective products that strengthen a brand’s presence.
After growing up around the world, Mackenzie is passionate about community, culture, and natural ecosystems. It is through this lens that she approaches clients, their audiences, and her own impact on the world. When not perfecting words or designing graphics, you can find her gardening, reading, hiking, or tandem surfing at Canoes. She recently moved back to Oʻahu with her family after three years on the mainland.
