Hi! I'm Mackenzie, a transfer-sophomore student currently at Boston University. I'm originally from Westchester, New York, where I made the switch to BU after transferring from the College of the Holy Cross. I have a passion for creativity and communication, and have chosen advertising as my major while also pursuing a minor in sociology. I have a desire to understand consumer behavior and the societal influences that shape our world, showcasing my commitment to both creativity and social consciousness.
I graduated high school in 2023, where I was a member of the lacrosse team, and further went to play at Holy Cross for the D1 women's team. Through my many years of being on a team and being a team member I learned the importance of teamwork and perseverance. The lessons I encountered and faced went on to help and inspire me for now, as I take on new challenges at a new university. In my spare time, I also find joy in running and participating in local races. This past summer I ran 3 half marathons! I believe in maintaining an active lifestyle, as it is crucial for fostering both physical and mental well-being, especially in a city like Boston.
On the other hand, I possess a diverse range of interests such as fashion for example, where I find it reveling to curate outfits that showcase my style. Fashion is a way for one to express themselves, and I find it invigorating to see how each individual expresses themselves through fashion. Photography is another passion of mine, as it allows me to capture the world around us all, and whether it's a stunning sunset or a candid moment with friends everything is special to me. I also love love love immersing myself in the world of anime and manga. I have been a big anime nerd for many years now! Anime was something that helped foster new friendships for me in high school, and I will always have a special place for it in my heart. Finally, I am dedicated to also giving back to my community. I love to spend my time volunteering at local animal shelters; being with the animals one on one and knowing I can have an impact on their lives means the world to me. I have always had a dog in my life, so I find it crucial to donate time and help better the world of animal shelters.
I am excited for what BU and Her Campus has to offer!
