Dreyfuss-Wells, Kyle

Education: Master’s degrees in public affairs and environmental science, Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs; bachelor’s degree in biology, The Ohio State University

Favorite Quote: “She who controls the agenda controls the meeting.” — Elisabeth T. Dreyfuss

First Thing I Do When I Start My Day: As an avid runner, most of my mornings are spent traversing my Shaker Heights neighborhood. Running helps me clear my head and puts me in the best position to have a successful day.

Most Important Leadership Quality: It’s OK to ask questions. You aren’t the expert in everything all the time. 

Hobby/Passion: Absolutely my horse Carino. When I’m not working or running or spending time with my family, you’ll find me at the barn or at a horse show. 

Where I Will Be In 10 Years: Hopefully right where I am now. I love my job — the people I work with, the issues we get to tackle — protecting Lake Erie, solving public health and water quality problems with urgency and pride. It’s the best work ever.
