Holly was born in England but grew up moving frequently with her military family, living in seven states including a five-year stay in Arizona. She met and married her husband Nicholas in Maryland after graduating from college with an education degree in 2002. They moved to Florida for work and now have an 8-year marriage, a house, a dog named Primo, and a 3-year-old son named Dominic. Holly is currently a math/science coach but looks forward to returning to the classroom next year to teach 5th grade.
