Machiah graduated from Tennessee Tech University (TTU) in 2021 with her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. While in college (and high school), Machiah supported herself by working at Waffle House, filling any role needed, including Manager! During her seven years at Waffle House, Machiah learned valuable skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership.
After graduation, she decided it was time for a new challenge. During her time attending TTU, she developed a love for Cookeville and began looking toward building a career in this area. She joined Waters Law, PLLC, in January 2022 as the new Estate Administration Paralegal.
Machiah lives in McMinnville and has called Warren County home since she was young. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, volunteering with Girl Scouts, playing video games, reading, and caring for her exotic pets.
