I'm Mackenzie, a 20-something realistic
idealist trying to make a difference in the world. Although I was born and rasied in Indiana,
I have spent the last several years packing and unpacking my bags in various
cities around the world. I graduated
with a BA in Economics and International Relations before serving as a Peace
Corps Volunteer in Guatemala. Currently, I am pursing my Master of Public
Policy degree at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of
Michigan. Part of my degree requires a summer internship, so I am living and interning with UN Women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
My first blogging experience was while I
was in the Peace Corps. Although that experience was an epic fail, I decided to
give it another shot because my mom is always asking what “exactly” I am doing so she can explain it to her friends. This is
an effort to keep myself from going hoarse explaining and re-explaining to her
and everyone else what it is I am doing, where I am and to give me a chance to share any other
random thoughts I have along the way.
This blog isn't meant to be anything
fancy. Like I said before, this is more of a consolidation of communication on my
part, than a blog that aims to impart wisdom. There will definitely be typos and grammatical
errors, so please don’t judge too harshly.
With that said, enjoy One Girl. One Globe.
