Mackenzie Mazankowski grew up in Edmonton and later moved to Sherwood Park. She is thrilled to be a second-year student at NAIT in the Radio and Television program, where she is learning all the skills necessary to pursue her dream of being a news reporter/anchor. Growing up, Mackenzie was very involved in the artistic scene in Edmonton. She started with competitive dance at age three and continued her dance/theatre education at MacEwan University's Theatre Arts program following her high school graduation. She continues feeding her passion and love for the arts by teaching various dance genres at a local studio in Edmonton. When Mackenzie is not working hard at school or teaching dance, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, singing and playing guitar and watching good films and television shows. And she is most likely reading or watching Harry Potter for the 100000th time during any spare moment.
