Ciara (she/her) is a New Jersey native who’s been in Vermont since 2016 now after coming up to attend the University of Vermont. Ciara’s love for the outdoors began young through picking up frogs and imaginary play with her brothers in suburbia, she knew at the age of ten that when she grew up she wanted to be “an environmentalist”. It wasn’t until her time at UVM that Ciara really began to pick up birding and through Audubon she gets to combine these passions for the natural world with her love for working with children. Ciara started as an intern at Audubon Vermont in January 2020, and continued as an intern through May of 2021. Unable to part with this amazing place, Ciara then stayed on as summer camp staff this past summer and is now serving as our Environmental Education and Outreach AmeriCorps member. Ciara looks forward to continuing to teach and spend time with our education programs and hopes to be able to work more towards inequity issues in the world of outdoor education. In her free time Ciara enjoys gluten-free baking, painting, hiking, and (of course) birding.
