ABOUT William Granda
This MDC Hialeah Marine Biology student began his UPG Internship in August 2009 as an Organic Stewardship (Coastal) Trainee at Oleta River State Park.
He served there with distinction as a Team Leader, and more recently a Field Leader with multiple Teams. He plans to continue his studies at FIU soon, but to continue to leap ahead of other students through learning and using job-based skills, and even imperical Research and Development.

From the very beginning, he wanted UPG to Adopt Amelia, but UPG was not ready. Now UPG is ready... and so is William.
