    I am Elena Riel and I am testifying in support of Maui Economic Development Boardʻs Economic Development Grant under the Maui County Office of Economic Development. Through the STEMworks Agriculture Business & Technology Internship Program, I worked on a local farm that is called “Kipuka Lana’i Farm”. The STEMworks program that I took in the summer with Aunty Leah Kanno and Uncle Kai Kanno was an incredible experience. They taught me so many things that were outside of farming that I incorporate in my everyday life! The STEMworks program can help many students discover what they’re passionate about, and even provide them a way to make new friends! I’m so thankful for this program and I hope it continues to inspire younger generations!!

    Thank you for taking the time to listen to this testimony,
    Elena Riel
