This mission inadvertently steered Makenna towards a newfound love for media, film, and television, a passion ignited by her experience on the set of “the Walking Dead” in 2019. This pivotal moment led Makenna to explore opportunities within the film industry, where she now excels as an administrative assistant and studio manager.
