CLASS OF 2020: FOR GEORGIA MACKENZIE, ART + ENGINEERING = DESIGN

Georgia Mackenzie is a University of Virginia cross country and track runner, a newly graduated biomedical engineer, and a painter and illustrator. She sees a connection in all of her pursuits.

Running is a team sport, but also a solitary activity, the runner largely in competition with herself. The product design work of engineers also is teamwork, but involves individual focus and intent. Likewise, with painting, the artist, working with intent, conveys in two dimensions depths that we all can share.

“I love being in competition with myself, pushing myself to do my best in everything I do,” Mackenzie said. “entry level computer science jobs, and painting and high achievement in the classroom are about working hard and digging really deep; taking ownership and responsibility. Only you can control how you’re doing, only you can control your results. I find that challenge really satisfying.”
