Christine Zhao, Editor-in-Chief
A senior at Jefferson, Christine is in her third year of working on the newsmagazine. As the Editor-in-Chief of Investigations, Christine works with her team to deeply investigate a single topic of interest, leading research efforts for such stories, sometimes in spite of tough resistance. Christine joined tjTODAY because she loves giving light to stories that are unnoticed by others, often bringing novel insight to interesting and complex issues and relationships. In the past, Christine has served as a Team Leader and staff writer. Outside of school, Christine is the president and co-founder of Project Talents, co-director of TJ Peer Tutoring, Captain of the Crew Team, BigSibs Coordinator, Treasurer of the Chinese Honor Society, participates in Project CODEt, and is a class Code() and Writing Center tutor. In her free time, Christine is a varsity cross country runner and rower who enjoys working out, consuming fruit, reading Elena Ledoux on Quora, and doing chores to good music (like actually good music). In college, Christine would like to pursue a career in computer science and journalism.
![Dr. Glazer forwarded the matter to the Siemens Foundation when he heard about NGRD. "After looking into the matter, they [the Siemens Foundation] assured me all student awardees went through a high level of scruitiny to ensure their work was original," Glazer said.
We reached out to the Siemens Foundation for comment. “Unfortunately, we are not at liberty to share perspectives on ‘outcomes’ of the Siemens Competition based on students experiences in internships and research experiences," Elizabeth Cho from the Siemens Foundation said. "Siemens Competition students’ experiences are varied and diverse as is reflected in the different backgrounds and research paths of the various winners.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/siemens.jpg)
