Description

Hello! My name is Quinn, and I have recently graduated from Carthage College with a degree in Geoscience and a Minor in Ceramics. I am currently working as a waitress in my home state of Minnesota. I have joined Work Away to connect with new people and cultures and gain travel experience. Some of my hobbies include hiking, baking, and art projects. I'm a hard worker with experience working at a summer camp, cooking, and caring for children, as well as serving experience at a restaurant.
I have previous travel experience, including a Work Away in Montana a few years ago, as well as study abroad experiences in Argentina and Nicaragua, where I was able to practice Spanish and stay with a Host family. I'm looking forward to finding an awesome Work Away experience!

Hello, my name is Hallie! I recently graduated from the University of St Thomas with a degree in Environmental Studies and a minor in Justice and Peace studies. I'm currently working as a MN GreenCorps member with the Pollution Control Agency in the Stormwater & Forestry area. My work has focused on urban forestry, environmental education, community outreach, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. I love to travel and try new things. In college I studied abroad in Argentina for 5 months and in Costa Rica for 1 month, and I loved those experiences because I was immersed in new cultures and was able to explore so many cool places. Outside of travel, my hobbies include art, camping, hiking, and spending time with friends.
I have previous WorkAway experience in a summer camp in Montana a few years ago (with Quinn!) where I worked as a groundskeeper, housekeeper/cleaner, and cook. I'm a hard worker, responsible, open minded, and ready for new experiences!

More details about my language interests
Quinn has practiced Spanish while studying in Argentina. I am still a beginner, but am interested in learning more! Hallie has studied Spanish in high school and practiced it while in Argentina. I'm at an intermediate level but I've gotten a little rusty so I'd love to be able to practice more!

Quinn - I have experience working in a kitchen and working with campers at a summer camp. I also have a lot of volunteer experience doing random tasks, from teaching classes to building houses. The job I have spent the longest at is my waitress job at Perkins, where I have learned hard work and being able to multitask and have customer service.
I also have travel experience from a previous WorkAway at Luccock Park Camp in Montana, where I cleaned, cooked, and did outdoor maintenance. And more recently I was a housekeeper at a resort in Bryce Canyon, Utah.

Hallie - I have experience in environmental work including urban forestry, volunteer management, environmental education, data management, and community outreach.
