She began acting lessons with Jamie McPeek of Sarasota and began searching out other opportunities in the area, leading her to Barbizon. She graduated Barbizon in 2019 and signed with Katatlyst Agency that same year. As a freshman in high school, McKenzie landed a part in a school production of "Fiddler on the Roof" and was one of only 5 freshman involved in the cast of 25. When not on stage, McKenzie's passions are still in the arts. She has been a member of her high school concert band since 7th grade and is also involved in high school concert choir.
