Carolyn Manuel - She/Her

RECEPTIONIST/ADMIN. ASSISTANT

Hello! Carolyn Manuel is my name. I am an administrative assistant and receptionist at the front desk. Since I have been with MAF for a year, I have helped with testing scheduling, interacting with our incredible volunteers, and ensuring that our clients are at ease in our office. I am well-versed in most aspects of our caseworkers', prevention staff's, and administrative staff's needs, and I always try my hardest to be of assistance to you.
Most of the time, I am the first person our clients see smiling and the first one to answer the door.

I began volunteering with MAF after doing community service. I became an employee because I simply fell in love with everyone and everything they stood for. I enjoy getting to know our clients and earning their trust, and it is a blessing in and of itself that MAF allows me to grow intellectually.

One of the many reasons I enjoy what I do is that we make it our mission to make you feel safe and comfortable. I also graduated from the Maui Drug Court Program in November 2024, so I am no stranger to that lifestyle when it comes to addiction. I have been homeless and understand what it is like to not have a safe place to go.
In my down time I love to meditate, listen to music, spend time with my family, and sleep when I am not working. Sleep has become my closest friend, especially when I have a busy schedule like mine. Getting my nails done is a must in my life since it is so adorable, fun, and calming.
