After matriculation, she enrolled at the University in Bloomington, from which she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism in 2004.
Career as a journalist
Upon graduation, she started working for Pacers Sports & Entertainment as their Official National Basketball Association (NBA) Emcee – the job meant she was to announce NBA games played by the Indiana Pacers, and she held thje job for two years before moving on. She joined Emmis Communications in 2006 as a midday host, talking on-air with the radio listeners, and hosting the “Discover a Day” mini-series.
A year later in 2007, McKinzie left the network and joined Radio One where she started by hosting their “Morning Show”, and while there became interested in hosting news related to sports and entertainment. Her venture with Radio One helped her progress in her career, and she stayed with the station until 2012 when she became part of the WXIN-TV team, still in Indianapolis with which she covered the Super Bowl, started attending red carpets with other journalists, and had a chance to interview numerous celebrities who attended those red carpet events.
By the end of 2012, she started working for cross-town rival the WISH-TV network, and became their lifestyle correspondent covering many red carpet events such as the Grammy Awards.
McKinzie became recognized for what she doing, and was wanted by several networks, however, after she received an offer from the KGW-TV station in 2016, she accepted and moved to Portland, Oregon where this NBC affiliate has its main offices. After joining them, she was given the position of a lifestyle and entertainment reporter which she has been holding to this day.
Her most recent success was being named the new TV commercial sidekick with Billy Fuccillo, who is the owner of the Cape Coal Kia car dealership.
Love life and husband
McKinzie met her other half Patrick Roth when she was only 11 years old – Patrick lived only three doors away from her. They started out as friends and spent time together playing games and being outdoors with the other children, attended the same high school, and later went to different universities but stayed in touch. They occasionally saw one another, and eventually launched their relationship, and dated for a couple of years before marrying on 14 February 2004.
McKinzie gave birth to their daughter Lucy in 2010, and the family of three is currently living in Portland, although Patrick often travels as he is a businessman.
Hobbies and other interests
McKinzie has been a fan of sports ever since she enrolled at high school, and after she matriculated continued playing sports at university, and added guitar and dance lessons to it. She enjoys watching movies and going to the cinema, and her favorite actor and actress are Bruce Willis and Jennifer Aniston, while her favorite movies include “Pulp Fiction” and “We’re the Millers”.
Reading is one of her hobbies too, and her favorites are crime detective books such as written by Agatha Christie, including “Murder on the Orient Express” and “Death on the Nile”.
At the beginning of her career, McKinzie travelled a lot and visited many states of the US, and became very keen on moving around – she considers travelling to be one of her main hobbies, but her job takes her around the US anyway, while she’s also visited several European countries including England, France and Switzerland.
