Bio
Autumn McKenzie loves a challenge. She is a former Division I student-athlete at Colgate University with a concentration in Neuroscience. Most notably, she led her team to win back to back Conference Championships and first ever appearance of a Colgate Women’s team in the NCAA. In 2015, Colgate retired her volleyball jersey.
She obtained her Master of Health Sciences and Physician Assistant training at Duke University. Currently, she practices Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins Emergency Department. In 2015, she was recognized by the Johns Hopkins Nursing and Magnet Committee as the Johns Hopkins Hospital Emergency Medicine Outstanding Provider of the Year.
She was married to an exceptional man, raising two incredible girls, and had a remarkable career when her life was broad sided by extreme change. Her husband was diagnosed with lung cancer and died in 2014.
Struck by the brevity of life and her own mortality, in February 2017 she launched her blog to show her girls that their dreams are important and anything and everything is still possible. She is compelled to share her story with the world because of God’s love and grace that enabled her to not only begin again, but to live boldly.
She has learned that change is inevitable and has learned to maximize personal growth through change because God is her constant. She anticipates writing a book about pursuing life with bold faith, urgency, and intention because neither our God given purpose nor dreams can wait!
There is something beautiful and powerful in each of us. We are all here on this earth for a reason. Our dreams and goals are important and powerful when aligned with God’s will! She encourages you to capitalize on NOW because time is uncertain, but God is faithful. Understanding the power of change whether engineered, anticipated, or unexpected is paramount. Autumn encourages you to know your worth in Christ. Persevere and grow through change because God has a plan for your life.
In February, her mom passed away after a catastrophic stroke. Autumn stepped into her mother’s shoes to raise her niece and nephew. Autumn McKenzie is raising the next generation with a heart for God and humanity. Like her life, this blog is a work in progress.

“...I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”
