About

About Reese Hollister

I’m Reese Hollister, a researcher, educator, and writing consultant based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I organize complex information, support students and programs, and develop work that people can read, watch, learn from, and use.

My experience includes university course support and writing consultation at NC State, history teaching in Rabat, and co-developing Huruf La’b. I completed my Master of International Studies at NC State in May 2026. North Africa, Arabic, and my Fulbright year in Morocco remain central to how I research, teach, and communicate across contexts.
