Students Kealie Pollett and Mitch Horan from North Rockhampton State High School will join FBA all next week for work experience. They will learn about coastal protection work, and particularly our research into inshore dolphins. Let's learn a bit more about them:
Kealie Pollett:
Hello my name is Kealie. I'm so excited about work experience next week, it should be great. I chose to do marine biology as my work experience because when I leave school I want to go to university where there I can study Marine Biology to study the unknown lives of the marine animals.
Ever since I was little I wanted to be a marine biologist and study the life of dolphins. I think that we will have fun going out on the boat and getting an insight on what we might want to do in the future.
Snorkeling over at the islands will also be great fun because i have never had that experience before!
Mitchell Horan:
Hi my name is Mitch. I’ve been interested in marine science since I was about 12. I’ve always liked marine life like sharks, turtles, whales and dolphins.
Whenever I go to an aquarium or fishing I’m always fascinated by everything I see. When I’m older I would like to get involved with marine science at JCU.
I think I’ll enjoy going out and witnessing the dolphins in their natural habitat. I’m looking forward to experiencing how everything operates in the office as well, because I mostly hear about the FBA doing fieldwork. I think I’ll find the fieldwork most fun though because that’s just the type of person I am.
Thank you for this opportunity, I think I'll gain a lot of experience from it and I'll make the most of it. I'm looking forward to next week.
*Please note: Team Dolphin had some trouble locating an image of Mitch in time for this post, so Wilson the Pineapple is standing in for him. Mitch is NOT a pineapple. We'll make sure Mitch posts a photo next week!
