MacKenna was born and raised in Colorado Springs. She has recently graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a bachelor’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology. In the future she plans to attend Physical Therapy School to grow in her career. She has always had an involvement in sports since she was young thanks to her parents who both coached multiple sports, but dance was her main sport for 13 years, until having to go to physical therapy herself for two ACL tears. When not at the clinic you can typically find her at one of the many ice rinks in Colorado watching her boyfriend play hockey, back in Colorado Springs at her home dance studio or enjoying all of what Colorado has to offer.
