Nōweo has worked just over four years in Facilities under Buildings and Grounds Management for the Campus Arboretum. As curator, she oversees the records and inventory of more than 6,000 plants, coordinates the digital plant map, and is responsible for new acquisitions to diversify and enhance the campus’s living collection. She works closely with Landscaping to better determine the best plant for a given space. Nōweo is excited to serve fellow staff members in this capacity, particularly by offering perspective from and support for UHM Facilities.
