She possesses a passionate dedication to outdoor education for children, firmly believing that disconnecting kids from screens and immersing them in nature is a vital aspect of their education and life. Providing a program that encourages outdoor exploration, nature connection, skill development, and the formation of new friendships is very important to her. When not leading the program, Mako enjoys spending her time at the beach, hiking up a mountain, going on camping trips, or visiting her family in Florida.
