While Holly was raised in the muggy flat-lands of Florida, she fell in love with the mountains at Warren Wilson College, where she played point guard for four years, coached for three, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion. The happiness she has found in purchasing her own home and building a life in Asheville has led her to becoming a Realtor so she could do the same for others. In addition, she has four dogs and works at the Humane Alliance as a veterinary assistant.
