MacKenzie
Care Team Specialist
MacKenzie is a proud Newberg native with a heart full of curiosity, creativity, and community spirit. Her background is delightfully varied — she earned an associate’s in general studies with a social work emphasis from Portland Community College, and along the way she’s dipped into all sorts of roles that have sharpened her empathy, adaptability, and passion for people.
In her free time, you’ll find MacKenzie right in the mix of family life: her partner, their kiddo, and their three dogs keep things lively and full of joy. During Oregon’s rainy months, she likes to get her hands dirty with arts & crafts projects or break a sweat at the local rec center. When the skies clear and the sun peeks through, she’s all about being outdoors — hiking local trails, soaking up fresh air, or simply wandering in nature’s classroom.
MacKenzie is deeply committed to continuing her education — there’s always more to learn, after all — and has dreams of exploring the world (even if just one small adventure at a time). Through past experiences in memory care and brief involvement with the I/DD community, she’s gained a growing appreciation for inclusive, person-centered support — something she hopes to continue building on in this role. As she grows, Mackenzie aims to bring that same zest for life, openness to new experiences, and heart for others into every interaction.
