A look into my world.

A look into my world. *
Hi, I’m McKenzie!
If you’ve clicked around my site (hi, hello, welcome!), you’ve probably realized one thing: I’m big on storytelling.
My first “vlogs” were shot on an early-2000s camcorder (which is trendy again, of course), starring my friends as reluctant cast members and me as the overly enthusiastic director.
Storytelling has always been my way of exploring and connecting with the world.
These days, I’m lucky enough to do it as a lifestyle reporter in Charlotte, where I cover about everything from the city’s best eats to its hidden gems.
Before this, I had bylines with Cosmopolitan, produced man-on-the-street-style shows for Snapchat's Discover page, and freelanced as a social media manager and copywriter.
Take a look around, explore my work, or drop me a note—I’m always up for a coffee chat or a brainstorming session (bonus points if caffeine is involved).
When I’m not chasing deadlines, you’ll probably find me:
Sipping my way through coffee shops.
Still convincing my friends to take part in my creative endeavors (maybe it’s time to break out the camcorder again?).
Saying yes to the meal, the adventure, and the memories.
Comfort listening to the same 5 songs over and over.
At the gym (just not in the morning - that’s a work in progress).
Keeping my Duolingo streak alive (my goal is to be fluent in Spanish by the end of 2025).
