Hailing from a small farming town in central-west Wisconsin, Holly was a senior History and Ancient Studies double major at St. Olaf College in Northfield/MN during her internship at TRACES. Holly has always had a strong passion for history, and as co-president of St. Olaf’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta (an international history honor society) she enjoyed organizing events and speakers to help promote the study of history with others. This love of history and a family background with connections to the issues of TRACES (her paternal grandmother is a WWII war bride from Germany) made her particularly interested in and excited to be a member of the TRACES team. Upon graduation in May 2007 Holly planned to take a year off before pursuing a masters in museum studies.
