My name is Mackenzie King. A deep passion for justice, service, and mentorship drives me. I am committed to making a lasting impact in my community. As a junior at UNC Charlotte majoring in Criminal Justice and Political Science, I am dedicated to advocating for equal opportunities, uplifting underserved communities, and inspiring the next generation of leaders. I proudly hold three leadership positions focused on increasing representation for minorities in the legal field and mentoring young kids. Through these roles, I strive to empower others, break down barriers, and create pathways for success. My commitment to service goes beyond obligation; it’s a calling that fuels my drive to create real change. I am always eager to connect with individuals and organizations who share my vision for a more just and inclusive society.
