This or that with Therese Holland

Who am I?
I am Therese Holland. I’m originally from the Washington DC Metropolitan area. I’m Asian European descent. My main trait I would emphasize is my creativity. It makes me a strong problem solver, artist, golfer, and stylist. I have a bachelors and masters degree in STEM. Consistently learning, I focus on getting better at anything I set as a goal. I strive for success.

How did I get into golf?
During my childhood, we watched football, baseball, and golf. My father was a golf fanatic. My dad started playing with his mother. I had never met her. Learning made me feel closer to my father and grandmother.

Being part Asian like Tiger Woods, it was the one sport where I saw Asian American representation at the time with major popularity. My dad was a huge Tiger fan. I wouldn’t have considered myself a fanatic at the time. I picked it up again when my best friend started playing avidly. It faded out as I started progressing in my career. I still played from time to time but not often. Before COVID-19 Pandemic started, I picked it up again. Since then, I’ve been making an effort to progress.

What’s next?
My next goal is to start expanding my presence and build on my brand. I’ve created a website to blog and reach out to new opportunities. I’ve expanded my platform to twitter, youtube, and tiktok as well. I’m currently identifying new content to create and post.
