Meet Mia!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mia is one of the new field interns joining Huertas this semester. Mia is a senior studying Global Studies as well as Nutrition and Food Science. As this is her last semester, she is happy to finally be able to take on this internship with Huertas. Since she took her first Spanish class at UVM three years ago with Professor Rachael Montesano, she has appreciated the work that Huertas does and believes that she can use what she\u2019s learned through her studies and apply them to her internship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having recently obtained more international experience, Mia\nbelieves that the semester she spent abroad in Spain last year greatly helped\nher improve her Spanish proficiency and problem-solving skills as she was\nthrust into a situation where she needed to be largely independent. Now that she\u2019s\nback in Vermont, she\u2019s looking forward to being able to practice her Spanish\nconversational skills and combine her interests with food access and nutrition with\nHuertas. In particular, she thinks it\u2019s interesting to think about food access\nin borderlands, and how fresh produce from gardens can have benefits socially,\nmentally, and nutritionally for those who maintain them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked what she was most excited for, Mia responded with\n\u201cI\u2019m really excited to plant gardens; I\u2019m excited for it to be warm out. I\u2019ve\nnever had an internship where I could be out in the field, especially because there\nare a lot of beautiful areas in Vermont.\u201d This also relates to her goals after\ngraduating college, as she hopes to move somewhere warmer. Considering her academic\ninterests and all she\u2019s learned so far with Huertas about migrant farmworkers\nand Latinx immigrants in Vermont and across the United States, she wants to\nwork with immigrant populations in one way or another. Specifically, she has\nconsidered either working as a translator in health care fields or in social\nwork-based refugee and immigrant casework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Conoce a Mia!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mia es una\nde las nuevas becarias de campo que se unen a Huertas este semestre. Mia es una\nestudiante senior de Estudios Globales, as\u00ed como Nutrici\u00f3n y Ciencias de los\nAlimentos. Como este es su \u00faltimo semestre, est\u00e1 feliz de poder finalmente asumir\neste internado con Huertas. Desde que tom\u00f3 su primera clase de espa\u00f1ol en UVM\nhace tres a\u00f1os con la profesora Rachel Montesano, ha apreciado el trabajo que\nhace Huertas y cree que puede utilizar lo que ha aprendido a trav\u00e9s de sus\nestudios y aplicarlos a su internado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de\nhaber obtenido recientemente m\u00e1s experiencia internacional, Mia cree que el\nsemestre que pas\u00f3 en el extranjero en Espa\u00f1a el a\u00f1o pasado la ayud\u00f3 a mejorar\nsu competencia espa\u00f1ola y sus habilidades para resolver problemas, ya que fue\nempujada a una situaci\u00f3n en la que necesitaba ser en gran parte independiente.\nAhora que est\u00e1 de vuelta en Vermont, est\u00e1 deseando poder practicar sus\nhabilidades conversacionales en espa\u00f1ol y combinar sus intereses con el acceso\na los alimentos y la nutrici\u00f3n con Huertas. En particular, piensa que es\ninteresante pensar en el acceso a los alimentos en las tierras fronterizas, y\nc\u00f3mo los productos frescos de las huertas pueden tener beneficios sociales,\nmentales y nutricionales para aquellos que los mantienen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando se\nle pregunt\u00f3 por qu\u00e9 estaba m\u00e1s emocionada, Mia respondi\u00f3 “Estoy muy\nemocionada de plantar huertas; Estoy emocionada de que est\u00e9 caliente. Nunca he\ntenido una pasant\u00eda en la que pudiera estar en el campo, especialmente porque hay\nmuchas \u00e1reas hermosas en Vermont”. Esto tambi\u00e9n se relaciona con sus metas\ndespu\u00e9s de graduarse de la universidad, ya que espera mudarse a un lugar m\u00e1s\nc\u00e1lido. Teniendo en cuenta sus intereses acad\u00e9micos y todo lo que ha aprendido\nhasta ahora con Huertas sobre trabajadores agr\u00edcolas migrantes e inmigrantes\nlatinos en Vermont y en todo Estados Unidos, quiere trabajar con poblaciones\ninmigrantes de una manera u otra. Espec\u00edficamente, ha considerado trabajar como\nuna traductora en las esfera de la salud o en casos de refugiados e inmigrantes\nbasados en el trabajo social.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
