Little known fact
When not at Malone, Holly enjoys spending time with her husband and 3 children, as well as gardening, reading, and occasionally binge watching her favorite shows. If you look far enough back in her maternal grandmother’s family tree, you will find the surname Nightingale. (Yep, that one!) She was also a part of a medical study as a child, which explains a lot.
