Hello! I am Amanda McKenzie, Coordinator for Community and Student Support at the BOLD Center. As CU alumna, I am excited to continue being a part of the CU community. I am a first-generation student, from an eclectic multicultural background and I identify as a citizen of the world. Having lived in 4 countries, and having visited more than 40 countries, traveling and experiencing different cultures is an important value of mine.
I ended up finding my passion for higher education through working in various offices on campus throughout the years, participating in volunteering, and joining a variety of student organizations. I earned my BA in Humanities, with a double minor in Business and Classics, and a certificate in Advertising. I strive to help students follow their passions and help them find opportunities to reach their goals.
In my personal life, I enjoy video games, baking, crafting, swimming, and exploring/learning about the world! I love learning new languages and about different cultures. I am also an avid bucket-list enthusiast and try to make a new one every year or so.
