Mckenna came to law from the ground up. She began her career as a legal assistant in private practice, where she developed a practical understanding of how matters progress from the first client contact through to final orders. That early experience shaped her approach to practice and gave her a genuine appreciation for the detail, pace, and people involved in legal proceedings.

Mckenna has since gained experience across the legal field, including in private practice and the government justice and legal sectors. She has also served as the President of the Griffith University Law Students Association, which allowed her to develop leadership skills and a strong commitment to advocacy. Originally from Canada, she brings a practical, grounded perspective to her work.

She is particularly interested in family and domestic violence work and is passionate about improving the lives of her clients by helping them feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout the legal process. Mckenna is committed to approaching matters with empathy and honesty, while keeping things moving with care and efficiency.
