Mackenzie Krage

I do advocacy work and have become acutely sensitive to the suffering of children. They orient my worldview and drive my commitment to Face the Future. I have toured University of Illinois Craniofacial Center on numerous occasions and am always impressed by the work they do. 

Born and raised in Chicago, I understand the importance of giving back to my community. I aspire to be a vanguard of change as I work to positively impact society–most importantly the lives of children–in my future legal capacity. I hope to represent and advocate for children who lack the ability to do so and use a voice that is distinctly unique, resonant and collaborative. After all, they are our hope for the future.
