Background

About Kyle Quina

At university, I studied chemistry and biology to better understand the basic components that make up the world. At work, I appreciate the details that make sense of things, whether a task is within the natural sciences or beyond. My experiences in wet labs have been testing water (drinking and waste) and culturing bacteria from the microbiome. Beyond the bench, I have worked in lab operations, report writing, and procedural writing. My personal interest also lies in the natural environment: I have grown up close to nature and therefore appreciate the need to promote positive human impacts on the environment. As a result, I have taken the four courses in natural areas management from the University of Florida Natural Areas Training Academy, which cover topics such as site conservation assessment and planning, collaboration with stakeholders to manage natural areas, and promoting public engagement with natural areas.
