About

Hi, I’m Maki. Nice to meet you!

I’m an eLearning Developer based in Montreal, Canada, currently pursuing my MA in Educational Technology at Concordia University. 

I began my journey in the field of education and learning in 2016. Since then, I have supported learners in a variety of contexts. Some of my experiences in the field include:

  • Running an arts-based language learning program for school groups at an arts & cultural centre in Toronto 
  • Supporting the coordination and delivery of professional development courses and Recognition of Acquired Competencies programs for adult learners at a CEGEP 
  • Producing engaging learning experiences as a eLearning developer at a professional services firm

I’m someone who is driven by curiosity and desire to help others grow and develop. One of my favourite things about working in the field of education and learning is getting to learn something new on a regular basis while helping others to do the same!

Here’s a bit more about me…

In the Winter 2022, I joined the Take the Leap! Make an Impact Program, which is an award-winning program by Sonia Di Maulo that grounds emerging leaders in purpose and prosperity.

I completed the program with a living legacy plan that reflects a deep vision grounded in meaning and purpose.

This is my Living Legacy profile, which outlines my purpose, guiding principles, passions and strengths that guide my actions and decision-making.
