About Holly Kibler
Holly Kibler began her nursing career at Summa Health Akron Campus (formerly Akron City Hospital) in 1998. In 2014, she returned to Malone as an adjunct clinical instructor, which sparked her interest in teaching. Kibler quickly realized she was being called into nursing education. After obtaining her MSN, she stepped into a full-time faculty role at Malone. When not at Malone, Kibler enjoys spending time on the Kibler family farm with her husband and children, as well as reading and occasionally binge watching her favorite shows.
