MacKenzie joined HCA Healthcare in 2020 as a Program Coordinator with the Leadership Institute. She supported the Director Development Program and the Advanced Leadership Program for ACNOs as they help develop leaders. Her favorite aspect of this role was learning from the incredible nurses who join the program. It truly gives the team purpose as to why we do what we do.MacKenzie was born and raised in Nashville and graduated with her undergrad from Lee University in Cleveland, TN. After graduation, she moved to Siem Reap, Cambodia for two years serving as an English teacher to middle and high schoolers. In addition, she also taught English in the school’s university. MacKenzie helped streamline the school’s curriculum as well as taught some of the local Khmer teachers to empower them to teach more advanced classes. Along with teaching, she worked in the Children’s Home and feeding center. During this time, she learned a great deal about people and where they come from. MacKenzie is very active in her church youth group, leading a group of freshman and sophomore girls every week. She’s been on a number of mission trips and is passionate about helping people (especially students) see the potential so many others find in them.Although they didn’t know it at the time, MacKenzie and Kevin began growing something much deeper than a friendship at Lee University. After much pursuit, and a few years in a foreign country later, the two got together. They were married on September 4, 2022 and currently live in Hendersonville, TN. They love going on adventures, anything outdoors and attending Nashville Soccer Club games any chance they can.
