Mackenzie Nicole, known on Instagram as @kenziee_nicoleee, is a 28-year-old Midwest girl turned California sunshine lover whose journey into modeling has been beautifully shaped by faith, confidence, and community.
Born in Indiana and now thriving on the West Coast, she brings a warm, grounded energy to everything she does, the kind of presence that instantly makes you feel seen, supported, and inspired.
For Mackenzie, being a Nalu Babe is all about sisterhood. She loves that Nalu Bay Swimwear isn’t just about wearing cute bikinis, it’s about stepping into a space where women uplift each other and celebrate each other’s wins. She says Jen has created a community where confidence grows, friendship blossoms, and every girl feels safe to show up as her real, powerful self. Being surrounded by that level of support has pushed her out of her comfort zone in the best way and reminded her just how transformative it is when women pour into women.
In her free time, Mackenzie stays active, creative, and deeply connected to the things that help her grow mentally and spiritually. You can usually find her at the gym or in hot yoga, curating mood boards on Pinterest, exploring cute cafés, or spending time outdoors. She loves road trips, photography, content creation, and anything that helps her evolve into the best version of herself. And of course, there’s Milo, her high-energy border collie retriever mix who keeps life exciting, chaotic, and full of love.
Growing up, Mackenzie dreamed of becoming a flight attendant so she could explore the world. Today, she describes herself in three words: driven, playful, and faith-filled, qualities that shine through in everything she does. She draws her inspiration from strong, purpose-driven women who stay kind, grounded, and rooted in faith while chasing big dreams. Whether it’s mentors, friends, or the powerful women she’s met in the modeling industry, she’s constantly fueled by the resilience and courage she sees around her.
Mackenzie’s biggest accomplishment isn’t a single career moment, it’s choosing herself. Saying yes to modeling, building confidence from the inside out, and refusing to let fear dictate her story has taken years of inner work, and she’s proud of the woman she’s becoming. Every new runway, new opportunity, and new connection feels like another door God has opened, guiding her exactly where she’s meant to be.
As for the future, Mackenzie hopes to take her modeling career as far as God leads her... more runways, more campaigns, and more ways to empower other women to step out of fear and into their calling. Outside of modeling, she holds a degree in Healthcare Administration with a concentration in mental health, and her long-term goal is to advocate for mental health and help improve patient care on a larger scale. Her heart is equally dedicated to serving others as it is to creativity, beauty, and the industry she loves.
With fun facts that make her the ultimate girly-girl, an Air Force alum who loves everything pink, a beach-obsessed glam lover, a froyo enthusiast, a sunset romantic, and a cozy reader, Mackenzie reminds our younger readers that life is meant to be lived boldly. Her advice is simple but powerful: never dim your light to make others comfortable. Step out of fear, speak kindly to yourself, and chase the dreams that set your soul on fire.
