About Mr. McKenzie

Hello!

This will be my eighth year teaching! I grew up in Boulder, Colorado on an 80 acre farm. My fondest memories are playing outside for hours on end and coming home covered in dirt! I moved to California over 10 years ago for the amazing people and weather. I worked in the entertainment industry (my final job was on Power Rangers) right out of college before pursuing my true calling and going back to school to become a teacher. I come from a family of all kinds of teachers. My dad teaches at various colleges in Colorado and my brother teaches snowboarding in Aspen, Colorado. I am thankful to be a teacher each day when I step on our campus. I consider myself a lifelong learner and value the impact that education can have in life. My goal is to inspire this outlook with my students.

I love to travel, workout, work on DIY projects, and learn new things. I currently live in Vista, California with my husband, 8th-grade son, dog, and cat. We are excited to be growing our family this year via surrogate. 

Never hesitate to reach out with any concerns or questions. 

Take care,

My Goals for the year
