Makaley Black has called Knoxville home her entire life. She loves sports and the difference athletics can make in a young person’s life.

She is a proud Fulton High School Falcon who graduated from East Tennessee State University with a bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies (double minor in sport management and public health) and master’s in sport management.

“I have been involved with Emerald Youth since I was a little girl, including as a basketball player when Steve Diggs coached my team. I am thrilled to work here and be surrounded by positive, Godly influences, while giving back to the community that has impacted my life tremendously.”

Makaley worships at CrossPoint Church, and enjoys spending time with her friends and family, attending Fulton football games and caring for her pet turtle, Taco.
