The Woman Behind The Women’s Direction

McKenzee has always been a creator; never enjoying any time where she wasn’t writing, singing, acting, sketching, making a film or bringing a story to life. She has successfully completed 5 major works in her HSC, graduated with a Bachelor of Media (Screen & Sound) from the University of New South Wales, worked coordinating short courses for The Australian Film Television & Radio School, designed and operated soundscapes for stage productions, fought with a half finished novel, and decided to start a small content creation business during the global Coronavirus pandemic.
