💙Mackenzie Pileski💙
Mackenzie is a third year senior from Penns Manor High School. She chose healthcare because she always enjoys helping people when it’s most needed. She also has learned about how needed healthcare workers are. Mackenzie says she has learned so much in her years at the ICTC… how to work better as a team and take charge when needed, patience, and compassion…all characteristics that help us better understand what our patients are going through. In addition to ICTC, Mackenzie participated on Penns Manor’s cheer squad for 6 years and she currently works at Fox’s Pizza Den, both of which have taught her leadership skills. Mackenzie plans to attend the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown to become a surgical technician. 💙
