Her entrepreneurial journey includes the founding of Barberque, a nonprofit that supported individuals struggling with homelessness in 2016, and 3MC Media, Inc., a full-service digital agency, in 2020. Today, McMahon serves as Associate Vice President of Digital Marketing Eduvantis, a higher education consultancy and agency. In 2024, McMahon was by the City of Denver and BEN Entrepreneurs Network and invited to participate in the Denver Scale-Up Network–an accelerator program for high-opportunity companies.
