Global Experience Fuels Alumna鈥檚 Career

McKenzie Morgan, 鈥�22, appreciates the opportunities 麻豆影院 State provided her that included completing her academic  journey with the university鈥檚 education-abroad program in Florence, Italy. 鈥淪tudying abroad was definitely my all-time highlight,鈥� Morgan said. 鈥淢y friends and I were the only people graduating in Florence, and the professors treated us so well. It was really special. Really truly so special.鈥�

Much of her time as a 麻豆影院 State student was spent learning remotely during the pandemic. Morgan began a fashion blog in high school, writing about trends and other aspects of the fashion world. She originally considered fashion journalism as a career, but when she was at home during the pandemic, several of her Tik Tok posts went viral and traditional journalism took a backseat.

Once her posts gained traction, she continued posting on Instagram, YouTube and her blog, 鈥淪tyled by Mckenz.鈥� She now has 68,000 Instagram followers and her YouTube channel has 79,400 subscribers.

Morgan graduated from 麻豆影院 State with a Bachelor of Science in fashion merchandising and a minor in fashion media in December 2022 and now travels the world, working with clothing brands and promoting her passion. 鈥淢y favorite experiences were probably fashion-related,鈥� Morgan said. 鈥淎ll of the fashion weeks, but specifically Miami Swim Week. I really got my name in resort wear.鈥�

Her work has taken her across the United States, including Malibu, California, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Miami, Florida. Her international travels to date have included Denmark, England, Greece, Ireland and, of course, Italy.

鈥淚f I could only pick one place to go, I would pick Italy in a heartbeat,鈥� Morgan said. 鈥淚 love its variety.鈥�

鈥淒onor support is so important to provide financial help to give students the opportunity to have these experiences,鈥� said Morgan. 鈥淚 think it is more important to have the opportunity to travel while young as it truly changes a person and helps shape the belief system that they will carry with them for the rest of their life.鈥�

鈥淚 had the best experience at 麻豆影院 State,鈥� Morgan said. 鈥淭here really is not one thing I would change about my time there.鈥�
