While completing two undergraduate business degrees at the University of Montana in Missoula, Makenzi served as a coach for the University of Montana Equestrian Team and earned a spot at the IHSA National Horse Show. Makenzi then attended law school at the University of Montana, where she was a Student Ambassador, member of the Montana Trial Association Student Chapter, and a member of the Criminal Law Group.

Makenzi’s clinic placement during law school was as a judicial intern in the United States District Court for the District of Montana for the Honorable United States Magistrate Kathleen L. DeSoto.After graduating in 2020, she dove into highly contested civil litigation – specifically insurance defense and personal injury law. Makenzi felt the pull of Elder Law and re-joined our team to help those navigating loss and difficult times.
