Born and raised in Pittsburg, KS, McKenna wore out her family's VHS of Annie before she hit 3 and has been looking for a rich bald man to adopt her ever since. She received her BFA in Musical Theatre from The University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Outside of performance, she is an avid enjoyer of Grandma Hobbies™—you can usually find her reading a book, practicing embroidery, or snuggled up with her cat, Penelope.
