My name is Christine Nicholson. I am from Harrisonville, MO, and am currently studying at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. I am majoring in Chemistry and Physics as well as working towards a minor in Math. I am involved with Alpha Chi Sigma-Professional Chemistry fraternity, Phi Sigma Rho- a sorority for women majoring in math, science and engineering, Society of Physics Students, and Gamma Beta Phi-National HOnor and Service Society. I look forward to bright possibilities in the near future.

I am a senior attending the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where I plan to obtain a B.S. in biochemistry. I hope to pursue my interest in chemistry by teaching high school chemistry. I grew up in a home of teachers. My mother is a science teacher and my father teaches business. I was always taught that teaching is a moral responsibility to motivate and inspire the next generation. I would like to teach science because it is a course that teaches a learning process as opposed to other subjects that have a static solution. By teaching science, one can teach students how to solve problems they have never encountered before because of the thought process that is developed through the scientific method. Instead of regurgitating information based on previous experiences. I look forward to my new career teaching chemistry and am extremely appreciative of the Hach Scientific Foundation for the support.
