Upon learning about The Ruth Cheatham Foundation, Holly immediately wanted to join in and work toward bringing awareness and resources to underserved and overlooked young adults battling cancer. This past year, Holly’s life was personally touched by an adolescent cancer diagnosis in a close family friend. 

To quote Holly, “To watch my friend's daughter, and really their entire family, walk through this season has been eye opening. Then this opportunity presented itself and a personal passion intersected with a professional opportunity- so I jumped at the chance to work with the team at The Ruth Cheatham Foundation!”

When Holly isn’t working she is an unpaid uber driver for her three amazing children!  She enjoys sushi date nights with her husband, cooking, and reading.
