Mackenzie Fisher joins the Blue Zones Project – Monterey County team as our Sr. Events & Office Specialist. As the daughter of two local entrepreneurs, she grew up in the hospitality industry, so event planning and office management is a natural fit. She has spent the last few years working in mental health, providing access to marginalized groups across the country, but is thrilled to be back and supporting her own community. She happily manages the day-to-day function of all three of our local offices and supports the team and community with events across the county.
Mackenzie was born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula and attended Santa Catalina High School, before moving to Washington State where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Spanish Language, and Education from the University of Puget Sound. During this time, she spent 7 months abroad in Granada, Spain studying the language and culture. It was here that her passion for slow-living, natural health, and movement came to fruition. She is an avid herbalist and studies naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and acupuncture when she is not working, cooking, or exercising with her dog.
My Power 9
For me, moving naturally and downshifting work hand in hand and I have found there is no better place to downshift than walking along the ocean with my partner and our puppy. You will find us walking/running/tidepooling along Asilomar or hiking the trails in Pacific Grove, Carmel, and Big Sur.
