Mara Makie Kage

Mara Makie Kage joined the Board of Keiro Northwest in May 2021.

She is a sansei immigrant from Brazil and has been living in the Seattle area for the past 20 years. Growing up in Sao Paulo, the epicenter of the largest Nikkei community in the world, she has been deeply influenced by her family’s involvement with the local Japanese community and broadly serving the community.

A graduate from the University of Washington in sociology and law, Mara has been involved with the local low-income immigrant and refugee communities through various community-based organizations.

At Keiro Northwest, she identifies with the mission and vision of the organization and is excited about this new opportunity to serve the seniors of the JA community.
