Meet Kenzie: A Senior Market Development Specialist at EF Education First. With a background in music and a passion for travel, Kenzie has recently channeled their creativity and dedication into a special project: designing the new EF Go Ahead Tours’ Pride Tours launching in 2025 and 2026.
We recently sat down with Kenzie to learn more about their EF journey, the inspiration behind the Pride Tours, and the importance of fostering safe spaces—both on tour and in the workplace.
Tell us about your current EF role and journey to where you are today.>
My name is Kenzie. I use they/them pronouns, and I am a Senior Market Development Specialist, which is just a fancy way of saying I research destinations and design tours for EF Go Ahead Tours.
I had a completely different background before this—I have a background in music, but my passion was travel. I started at EF in 2020 during the pandemic and worked my way up to Market Development because it's a very creative role. It's something I manifested from the moment I walked in the door. They said, “What do you want to do? I said, “I want to design tours.” And here I am.
