I am Nikki Holland, currently a student at
Arizona
State University, working on my Bachelor of Science degree in Life
Sciences, Cell Biology & Physiology emphasis. My love for science stems
from my childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist/oceanographer and
an undying interest for exploration.
I currently work as a legal secretary in the
commercial litigation field for a large nationwide firm,
Stinson Morrison
Hecker. I was born and
raised in Tucson, Arizona, and currently live in Phoenix Arizona. I
have also lived in San Diego, California on two occasions. While
in San Diego, I worked in the legal field and volunteered with different
marine and ocean institutions.
As time elapsed, although I found the law interesting
and challenging, I always knew that my passion lay with the wonders of
science. So, I returned to college at Arizona State University in pursuit of my biology
degree.
I am an avid traveler and enjoy hiking, scuba diving,
surfing, running,
and science fiction movies. Did I mention I love science? I am an independent student of
environmental issues. I have been a funding member of the
American
Cetacean Society, the
Center for Marine Conservation, Surfrider
Foundation,
Environmental Defense Counsel, and
Greenpeace for many years. I currently volunteer for the
Arizona
Special Olympics and look forward to spending some volunteer time with
Habitat for Humanity.
