Forestry Solutions Inc & Office of Hawaiian Affairs

My name is Daniel Nychuk; I am a second-year MDP student. This summer, I had the opportunity to complete my work placement in Hawai'i for Forestry Solutions Inc. and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). Over the summer, I worked on developing economically sustainable business models for an agroforest project at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. I worked closely with OHA's lands department, including a former MDP alumni, Alex Keone Oldroyd.

“I truly had an amazing experience this summer. Not only was I able to spend three months on this international work placement in Hawai’i, but I also took with me many memories and lessons that I can carry forward on my future journey as I graduate from the MDP program.”
