Kyle Trefny (he/him)

Research Coordinator

Hi! My name is Kyle Trefny. I’m a wildland firefighter, economics student, and award-winning organizer and artist, with work reaching millions of people, featured by Youtube Originals, Penguin Random House, the Getty Museum, Forbes, Amplifier Art and more. Behind what I do is the force of community, family, and other young creatives. I grew up in the Bay Area, where local disasters and ecological passions drew me to the element of fire. I believe in solutions that work for most-impacted communities, the more-than-human world, and future generations. I’m also queer and I prioritize creating a fire space in which all people can belong and be their full selves.
