About

Kamusta! I’m Maki.

I’ve been telling powerful stories about people for 15 years now – across nonprofit, political, media, and corporate sectors all over the world. 

I help mission-driven people and organizations lift up their unique stories in public. 

I’m a Manila-born Filipina gal with global roots. I’m now based in Denver, Colorado.
