Makenzi Cleveland

Hi! I’m a psychology major and social work minor with a passion for helping others—especially children and families—through supportive, behind-the-scenes roles. I’m currently based near Letohatchee, Alabama, and working toward a long-term career in either DHR (Department of Human Resources) or Human Resources in a company setting.

I’m actively seeking entry-level administrative or office-based roles where I can use my communication skills, strong attention to detail, and background in human behavior to support a meaningful mission. I’m especially drawn to positions in: family services, HR departments, nonprofit offices, and social support organizations

My goal is to build a career that allows me to make a difference in people’s lives—whether that’s helping clients access services or supporting employees within an organization.

I value: compassionate, respectful communication, organizational systems that actually help people, roles that mix desk work with real, human interaction, growth into remote or flexible positions in the future

Whether you’re in public service or corporate HR, I’d love to connect and learn more about how you got where you are!
