Her obsession started at a young age watching Food Network and spending time in the kitchen with her dad. She is new to McCormick® but has been a consumer of McCormick products for her entire life. Her favorite childhood memories are of making Christmas cookies with her dad and always using McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract and Ground Cinnamon. McKenzie holds a degree in Marketing with a focus on communication and hospitality, but her biggest success thus far has been landing her dream job … the McCormick Test Kitchen!
