Profile information
Description
We are both recent graduate students from the University of Vermont in the United States. We both love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and learning about what they have been doing throughout their lives! We are both very excited to continue learning about different cultures through Workaway and to learn more about what else is going on in the world.
We both love anything and all things nature. We are both big skiers, backpackers, rock-climbers and hikers. We love traveling to new destinations where we can experience all these activities in new and beautiful places

More details about your skills
Kira brings her knowledge of science communication in the context of threatened wildlife, ecology, and sustainability solutions. Her interdisciplinary education has allowed her to holistically analyze problems and present them to communities, the public and stakeholders concisely. She is skilled in video creation, writing, and editing. She loves knitting, basket-making, and is a novice gardener and forager. She has worked for multiple service-learning projects before, doing digital marketing, social media, landscape design, permaculture planning and wildlife research. She is passionate about documentary filmmaking and multimedia journalism and its intersection with the environment. She is adventurous, willing to learn, and excited to experience new cultures.
Jonah has learned an abundance of environmental skills within the University including environmental analysis, spatial analysis, and multiple mapping techniques. He has put these skills to use through Geographic Info Systems (GIS) which can create suitability models, observe changing environments through satellite imagery, analyze different types of environmental projections, and many more statistical analysis that can be applied to many fields of interest. Jonah is also a terrific planner and problem solver which had led to the completion of multiple projects for both scientific and travel purposes. Besides that, he also has lots of experience with extensive labor such as farming, gardening, and deep cleaning. On his free time, you can find him reading, knitting, hiking, singing and playing guitar, or simply mapping different landscapes through his computer. He looks forward to learning about new cultures through the stories of the local people around the globe.
