Let's welcome MacKenzie Finlayson, Social Media Assistant!

Family and Pets:

My dad is from South Africa and my mom is from Louisiana and they both went to LSU (aka how they met). I have one little sister named Abigail who is a freshman in high school. I have 2 of the cutest puppies ever – Lolly, who is a West Highland Terrier, and Cocoa, who is a weenie dog mixed with a schnauzer!

Favorite Color:

Light pink

Favorite Quote:

 “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” AND “Treat People With Kindness” -Harry Styles 

Favorite Trend in our Industry at the Moment:

I am really interested in artificial intelligence. I feel as if it leaves more room for people to utilize their creativity and spend time doing more work at which they excel rather than routine, tedious tasks. I also love how being different and veering away from the norm is now an impactful aspect of marketing.

Two truths and a lie (identify the answer):

1. I have been to over 25 concerts
2. I lived in Europe for a year
3. I was a dancer for 8 years

If you could switch your job with anyone else within Evolve, whose job would you want?

Jacob’s because I find web design to be so interesting and complex – it would be super cool to be able to do that.

What have you gained from working at Evolve?

In one word, I have gained experience. I have learned so much more about social media, design, and all the little aspects that go into creating. I have also been so lucky to be able to work in a kind office environment!

If you could compare yourself with any animal, which would it be and why?

I would probably say a monkey because I always like to have a good time and be goofy, which I feel this animal resembles. I would also consider monkeys to be quite sharp and I am always trying to learn new things and expand my knowledge on the most ridiculous subjects.

When you’re not at work how do you spend your time/What are your hobbies?

I love going to concerts, being outdoors (especially the beach), drawing/painting, binge watching YouTube videos, and dancing around to music with my friends.

What would be your karaoke go-to song and what setting would we likely find you singing it in?

I would definitely sing Bohemian Rhapsody, Baby it’s Cold Outside (I would sing both parts), OR Put Your Records On. You could find me singing karaoke anywhere with a microphone.

If you could invite three people to dinner (dead or alive), who would be at the table and why?

1. Harry Styles because he is my favorite artist, is so insightful about life, and I would make him sing for me.
2. Freddy Mercury because I have been a fan of Queen since I was in diapers and I have so many questions to ask him.
3. Christopher Wray, the Director of the FBI, because I want to know all the secrets.

What would be your dream concert lineup?

Opener: One Direction (the original band)
Headliner: Queen
Finale: Elton John
