Hello

I’m Mackenzie Curtin — a project management and marketing professional with a passion for strategic execution, seamless logistics, and bringing big ideas to life. Currently based in Washington, DC, I manage high-impact conferences and marketing initiatives for the American Council of Life Insurers, where I specialize in cross-functional collaboration, budget oversight, and attendee experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Law and Society with a minor in American Studies from American University, and I’ve completed the Marketing Strategy Professional Certificate from Cornell University, further strengthening my ability to deliver data-driven, audience-focused campaigns.

​

I grew up in South Shore Massachusetts, just outside of Plymouth, where my love for history first took root. Coming from a small town, I was eager to experience something bigger, which led me to build a life and career in Washington, DC—a city that matches my energy and drive. I now live here with my long-term boyfriend, Ari, and our rescue labradoodle, Summer, who keeps things joyful and unpredictable in the best way.

​

Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply committed to animal welfare and regularly volunteer with Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, where I help provide care and support to animals in need. I am also passionate about women’s and girls’ rights, especially when it comes to education access, body autonomy, and equality.

​

In my free time, I am a visual artist, creating digital and mixed-media art that allows me to express myself creatively and recharge outside of work. In addition to creating art, I’m constantly exploring the beauty, fashion, and wellness industries—not just as a fan, but as an active learner. I stay informed by following industry leaders, reading market insights, testing products, and staying up to date with evolving trends. These spaces energize me, and I’m excited by the possibility of aligning my professional skills with the things I care most deeply about.

​

Whether it’s launching a campaign, planning a large-scale initiative, or supporting a mission I believe in, I’m someone who brings dedication, creativity, and a solutions-focused mindset to every project I take on. I’m always looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute meaningfully while continuing to grow across industries that inspire me.
