Holland Teisher

Hi my name is Holland Teisher and I am a recent graduate from the UC Santa Cruz education MA and teaching credential program. Prior to my work in teaching, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz as a History major and Spanish minor, Magna Cum Laude with a GPA of 3.92 and won the John Holmes Award for my senior thesis in history. I am extremely passionate about writing and research, as during my undergraduate careers I also worked extensively with one of my professors as a research assistant for his upcoming monograph. Through this experience, I learned to use important archival systems such as Devonthink and Zotero. I am also bilingual and can navigate archives in both English and Spanish. I am collaboration driven and thrive as being part of a team. I enjoy working within the field of academia whether that be related to research or students.
