> Angelika (Angie) Hofmann  grew up on the island of Maui. True to her roots, she loves canoe paddling, surfing, swimming, skim-boarding, snorkeling and any other way she can be in the ocean. Angelika's passion for the ocean led her to enroll in the Marine Option Program at Maui Community College, where she took hands-on courses and enriched her studies through internship projects. Angie works as a marine naturalist and volunteer coordinator for Hawaii Wildlife Fund. When asked about her role with HWF, she says, "I feel so blessed." In addition to the work she does to help Hawaii's oceans, she also loves traveling and considers herself a student of the world.
