Jordyn\u2019s enthusiasm, self-motivation and excellent communication skills to help teach and assist youth in outdoor recreational skills such as saltwater fishing or kayaking. In addition, she experiences hands-on marine-science skills such as using seines, fish identification keys, microscopes, quadrat sampling, understanding tides and currents, marine and estuarine habitats, etc.<\/p>\n

Jordyn is also gaining skills in fish identification (including non-natives), data collection and collation, YSI operation, and culvert trap gear usage. Her mentors admire her sense of humor, tenacity, self-initiative, and ability to think and problem solve, and most importantly to be a team player. On her mid-summer program report, Jordyn stated, \u201cThe Hutton Program has been an invaluable experience for me this summer. This program has shown me the spectacular hidden world of the fisheries industry that most people don\u2019t know about and I am extremely grateful to be a part of it. I could not have asked for better mentors than Dr. Patterson and Dr. Guindon. They are both incredibly smart and willing to teach during any moment. I admire their tenacity and passion for what they do and strive to be like them one day in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
