Approach
McKenna finds that helping others solve problems and meet their goals is personally fulfilling. She applies a collaborative, detail-oriented approach to her client’s needs and therefore, they should expect strategic solutions to their concerns. This makes her an effective communicator who is able to see projects across the finish line.
Making a Difference
Due to her father’s early-onset dementia diagnosis back in 2015, McKenna and her family are very involved in The Alzheimer’s Association. She is an avid fundraiser and participates in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s each year to help further their goal to end Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
