Andrea Hernández Holm, PhD

I was raised in central Arizona, surrounded by cotton farms and the Sonoran desert. My family originated in Northern Mexico and Texas and their stories migrated with them through the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands. Our histories and relationships with land, community, and family play integral parts in my writing interests. I currently live in southern Arizona, where I direct a university academic writing support program.

I have extensive experience working with, researching, and writing about diverse Borderlands issues in both creative and academic writing. My interest is in the ways that identities and experiences intersect, and how individuals and communities use story to build resilience, maintain identity, and persist.

​

I am a poet and essayist with numerous publications. I am currently celebrating the birth of my first book, Not Enough, Too Much. I have had the honor of working alongside artist activisits responding to global issues, including Poets Responding to SB 1070 and Sowing the Seeds de Tucson.

​

My professional background includes working with non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and independent contractors. I have worked closely with writers of various genres and backgrounds, serving as an editor, writing specialist, researcher, and publication specialist. 

I have a number of publications and have presented my scholarship at national conferences.
