Samuel's educational journey began in 2007 at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Sustainable Science Management from the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College in 2023. During his 10-year hiatus from school, he traveled the world and worked in a variety of jobs, including farming, fishing, tour guiding, and archeological field work. It was the sustainable systems class within the SSM degree that clicked with Samuel, sparking his passion for systems modeling.  Now armed with a bachelor's degree and insights gained from his travel experience, Samuel is eager to apply his knowledge to his home island of Maui.

Aloha, ʻO Leo Nahe koʻu inoa, no Waiʻehu, Maui mai au. My name is Leo Nahe, I am from Waiʻehu, Maui, and I am proud to be the Student Engagement Coordinator at Hulihia - Center for Sustainable Systems. I am a graduate from Gonzaga University, with a BA in Environmental Studies and Sociology. Over the years, I have worked in the environmental field in various capacities but I believe that Hulihia is where I will finally be able to bring my passion for the ʻāina and the Maui Nui lāhui into fruition.

Aloha, my name is Remy Romo-Valdez, and I am proud to work as a researcher at Hulihia. I recently graduated with a BAS in Sustainable Science Management, with a concentration in Marine Studies, from the University of Hawaii Maui College. For the past five years, I have assisted the Waipono Farms Hydroponics and Aquaponics Greenhouse with operations and produce donations within the Maui Nui community. Having been raised on Maui, I have seen and experienced first-hand the many changes and issues that my family and the Maui Nui community face each day. With Hulihia, I am humbled to work with my community to analyze those changes and issues to further promote sustainability and community well-being in Maui Nui.
