    Hello there!

    Hello future Aggie! My name is Mackenzie Best and I am so excited to meet you. I can’t wait to hear about your interest in continuing your education here at New Mexico State University.

    I grew up in Los Lunas, New Mexico and graduated from NMSU with a bachelor’s degree in Education. Along with being an Admissions Advisor, I also enjoy traveling, reading great books, and spending time with friends and family. I have always loved education and I am very passionate about assisting others in achieving their educational goals. I can’t wait to share all that New Mexico State University has to offer. Go Aggies!
