Community Spotlight: MacKenzie Hartung

I’m proud to announce FresYes’s star, MacKenzie Hartung, is shining bright! After saying #YestoFresYes, She received a call from her dear friends (and clients!) Craig and Claire Meredith about wanting to start a philanthropic group in support of a local charity.

“The premise was simple: gather a group of young professionals for dinner once a month, and add in an element of giving back to every meeting. Our charity of choice is Terry’s House— a hospitality home for families of critical care patients at Community Regional Medical Center. Our group is comprised of “millennials” which are broadly known for being the “me-centric” generation. In hopes to change that narrative, our dinner club was created with a group of like-minded individuals to shift the perception of young people in the community today.”

Terry’s House is growing and changing the world thanks to MacKenzie — check out this news coverage expanding on the home away from home for many: watch the amazing news coverage here!

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
