Mia Handte-Reinecker

Environmental Education Intern, Spring 2022

Mia is in her final semester in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies. At UVM, she has had the opportunity to explore her interests in wildlife, natural history, and environmental education. She is originally from suburban Massachusetts and has been in Vermont since 2018. She grew up playing outside and became passionate about the outdoors at a young age. Mia loves Vermont and exploring all the natural aspects of this beautiful state through hiking, birding, and wildlife photography. Her favorite bird is the Pileated woodpecker- but she loves seeing all birds! Mia is excited for this internship opportunity to teach and learn! One day she hopes to be an environmental educator, building on her experiences this semester at Audubon Vermont.
