About

Person in wetsuit carrying a surfboard on a sandy beach with forested hills in the background.

I’m Mary Kate Ahkin.

I’m a digital communications and content professional with a background in sustainability, specializing in translating complex ideas into clear, engaging storytelling across digital platforms. I hold a degree in Sustainability Management and am currently completing graduate-level coursework in Public Policy at Michigan Technological University.

Across my work in higher education, nonprofit, tourism, and through my own business, M/K Studios, I’ve managed and produced content across web, social, and paid channels, often owning the full lifecycle from strategy and production through distribution and performance tracking. My work combines visual storytelling, digital strategy, and analytics to support audience growth and engagement.

I also bring hands-on experience in photography, video production, and digital campaign execution, supported by certifications including FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot and Adobe Marketing Specialist.

I’m particularly interested in roles where I can take ownership of digital platforms and contribute to mission-driven work, using content and data to support meaningful engagement and impact.
