 SCVCS Staff Spotlight: Makenzie Wilson

My name is Makenzie Wilson

and I am the Registrar at SCVCS.

I recently got married in April and live in Columbia with my

husband (Justin), dog (Tucker), and cat (Lucy). I grew up in
Pendleton, SC and moved to Columbia to attend the University
of South Carolina. I graduated from USC with a degree in
Journalism and Mass Communications.

I enjoy spending my free time with friends and family, travelling,

and reading a good book. I am also an avid runner and I enjoy
competing in local running events. I completed my second
marathon in January.

I have been with SCVCS since June 2011 and I love my job!

Thank you, Ms. Wilson, we appreciate all that you do for the
students and staff at SCVCS!
