Kyle Krezdorn - University & Research Coordinator
University & Research Department ur@cbfieldstation.org | 757-824-5636 x105 My name is Kyle Krezdorn, I attended Kutztown University and received a bachelor's degree in Marine Science with a Minor in Geology. I have attended the field station in the past for courses and really enjoyed my time there. My introduction to wildlife started at the age of 2 when my dad took me out on the water with his boat and ever since then I knew I wanted to explore the ocean sciences. I've been heavily involved in research that has been conducted on Assateague Island, which also had been published and presented at multiple conferences. I love Mexican food and can talk all day about fish! |
