Founder Why

Mara’s career is shaped by curiosity, creativity, and a deep love of learning. Over the past 20 years, she has held diverse roles in startups and nonprofits—spanning filmmaking, marketing, operations, and HR. Through every chapter, two golden threads remain constant: visionary leadership and a commitment to people. Mara brings care, clarity, and big-picture thinking to every project, guiding ideas from concept to reality. Whether executive producing award-winning documentaries, building bathrooms at a Kenyan orphanage, founding transformational communities, or cultivating healthy teams, Mara gives her all—driven by the hope of leaving the world, or at least her corner of it, better than she found it.
