Hollis Wakefield

While in high school, Hollis spent several years coaching and competing in speech and debate; this refined her communication skills and sparked her passionate interest in politics. Upon graduating high school as a member of the National Honor Society, Hollis became a Coaching Assistant in the SOAR Speech and Debate Club. 

Hollis joined the Author Conservatory in January 2023 in pursuit of her goal of becoming a published author. On top of receiving intense training from professionals and writing multiple novels, she launched her virtual assistant business, Hollis Lee Virtual Assistance, in May, 2023. These ventures trained her in communication, administrative responsibilities, and writing effective content.

Outside of her work with OA, Hollis plays Rachmaninoff piano solos, reads classic 19th century novels, draws with alcohol markers, and attempts to learn the violin. Most importantly, Hollis cherishes teaching her weekly Sunday school class at the Summit Church and relaxing with her family (while watching murder mystery shows, of course).
