CO-CHAIRS

Giselle Delotch

Giselle is a full-time student in the dual degree Archives/Records Management and History program. She received her bachelor’s degree in history from Humboldt State University in 2010. She is interested in czarist Russian history and medieval European history with an eye to women and cultural shifts. Giselle’s fascination with the tangible records of the past led her to focus on a career in the archives profession. She joined SCoSAA looking to get connected with the professional community and extend herself beyond the classroom. Born and raised in California, this is her first time living out of state and there has definitely been some culture shock. Outside of her archival and historical interests, Giselle enjoys reading, writing her own sci-fi/fantasy stories, and watching movies.
