Holly Sharer was born Deaf into a Deaf family, and was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. Holly attended the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) in Washington D.C. After receiving her high school diploma, Holly attended Gallaudet University.

Holly lived in Southeast Asia for 16 months, volunteering to work with a 12-year-old deaf blind boy with HIV who didn't know any language, even though he's very bright. Holly worked with him for 6 months and saw a lot of improvement in him. Holly returned to the USA and she and Jason Nesmith have a beautiful 2-year-old daughter, Leia.

In 2016, Holly started writing articles for the ASL Wikipedia, contributing articles "Salvador Dali", "Thailand" and "Picasso".
