Mackenzie grew up in North Babylon and is excited to be working in her first animal hospital role. Her passion for animal care began during her teenage years while volunteering and interning at a horseback riding center, where she gained hands-on experience helping with the healthcare of therapy horses.

At home, Mackenzie has a talented rescue bunny named Arlo who knows a few tricks, and Spencer, a 27-year-old African grey parrot with plenty of personality. She also helps care for Pinky, her grandparents’ cheerful parakeet.

In her free time, Mackenzie enjoys making jewelry, altering clothes, and rewatching her favorite movie, Coraline.
