Mackaella joined Achilles in June 2026 as the Development Operations Manager. She was first introduced to the organization through her previous employer, where she organized fundraising events in support of Achilles. Inspired by its mission, she became more involved as a guide runner at Central Park workouts and later ran the 2024 Chicago Marathon as a Team Achilles charity runner.
Before joining Achilles, Mackaella spent six years in the insurance industry, serving first as an Operations Associate and later as a Data Analyst. She is especially passionate about volunteering with organizations that support individuals with disabilities, a commitment inspired by her younger sister with Down syndrome. Mackaella is excited to now work in a space that reflects both her professional strengths and her dedication to athletics and inclusive opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
