Makenzie

I'm currently a personal trainer at Life Time in Tempe, Arizona, where I moved in the summer of 2024. After a couple years on the media side of sports I got the opportunity to hop a couple time zones and be a trainer full time.

​

I spent the previous year in Macon, Georgia as the Assistant Director of Media Relations, covering men's basketball and baseball. After finishing grad school, in July 2022 I moved from my hometown in Tennessee to Jacksonville, Florida to be the Public Relations Assistant for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

​

I graduated in May 2022 with a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I earned my undergrad degrees in 2020, double-majoring in Communications and Sports, Outdoor Recreation, and Tourism. I was a member of the cross country and track teams and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee from where I was chosen to represent the Southern Conference at the NCAA Convention in January 2022. In March 2021, I was certified as a National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer.

​

Outside of work, I have a passion for finding and spreading joy in all the things I love, including being outside, animals, reading, writing, exploring, cooking, and celebrating.
