Kayla Maki

Kayla Maki oversees subscription and delivery operations while coordinating advertising placements, client communications, billing, records and print production deadlines. She also serves as the Beacon’s staff photographer and occasional correspondent, which means she’s just as likely to be found behind a camera at a community event as she is keeping the many moving pieces of the newspaper on track.

Maki’s background in community management and financial services includes property budgeting, billing, payroll, tax reporting and regulatory compliance. She studied foreign language and communications at Lansing Community College. Known for her reliability, discretion and attention to detail — and her willingness to wear more than a few hats — Maki helps keep both the distribution and office sides of the Beacon running smoothly, often with a camera close at hand.
