About Me — Mackenzie Plunkett
Hawai’i-born & ‘Āina-raised
Aloha! Hello! ¡Hola! My name is Mackenzie. Take a seat and let me fill you in on my life~
I was born and raised in Hawaiʻi. As a child, I loved all things outdoorsy. My dream jobs as a kid were to either be a game warden or a park ranger.
Unfortunately, due to my unathletic stature and distaste for science equations, I decided on a different path. Plus, I’ve been told being 5ft tall isn't scary enough, unless it’s an oversized gremlin.
Throughout high school, I got into learning about Oceania and the history of that region. (I don’t like to use the word ‘Pacific’ as it was created with colonial means.)
Fun fact, I did precision air riflery in high school. Watch out. I’m a sharpshooter. 😉 All jokes aside. Hunting has a special place in my heart because it became a way to connect with my dad. Through this, I became passionate about conservation, preservation, and sustainability.
Here is one of my stories on that topic:
