Meet The Team: SYRCL’s Ecohydrologist, Kyle McNeil

Kyle grew up in the suburbs of Ventura County, CA. He moved to Davis for his undergraduate studies at UC Davis where he studies Environmental Science & Management. During his time at UC Davis, he had a plethora of experiences in different research labs ranging from soil science, gut microbiota, environmental toxicity, to white abalone. During his time there, he also volunteered to reduce campus food waste and, in his final year, Kyle served as a coordinator for the 50th Annual Whole Earth Festival in 2019.

After graduating, Kyle moved to Sacramento, CA to work in stormwater permitting at the State Water Resources Control Board and volunteered at Effie Yeaw Nature Center helping to take care of the resident raptors, reptiles, and amphibians.

In his free time, Kyle enjoys cooking, hiking, skiing, and playing board games with friends.
