Updated September, 2009 After finishing my undergraduate studies in 2007, I have elected to pursue acting as my primary career. So far, I've really enjoyed the opportunity and am fortunate to have been able to work with some extrememly well known cast and crew members so quickly after my transition. My study habits have carried over well as I have been continuously enrolled in several well established acting schools in order to improve my skills and keep sharp for future projects. IMDB.com is an excellent source to view my more mainstream Television and Film work, but I will try and keep my EXPERIENCE page updated as often as possible. My Story: I was born and raised in Southern California, with brief but memorable moves to Costa Rica (8 years old) and Kentucky (17 years old). Most of my childhood was spent in Palm Desert, with weekly trips to visit my father who lived near the ocean. As an avid sun worshipper, it was only a matter of time before I moved to the beach full time. Newport Beach has been my home for over 6 years now. Not the over dramatized, extravagant and pretentious one you see portrayed on 'The OC'. I'm fortunate enough to live in the 'real' Newport Beach where shorts and flip-flops are the staple of every wardrobe; where a beach cruiser is enough transportation to do all my grocery shopping, go out to dinner or visit many of my friends. The surf and sand make a soothing backdrop for my daily run and the fresh air helps keep me alert during visits to my nearby gym. If you couldn't already tell by my photos, exercise and diet are a very big part of my life. I take great pride in looking exactly like the girl you see in my pictures. Many photographers have told me it makes their job much easier since they have little to no touch up on my photos, so I continue to try and work as hard as I can, for myself and for the camera. During the first few years of college, I had braces on my teeth, slowly forming the smile you see today. I also waited tables at a local restaurant and almost once a month would get my dancing fix by going to Las Vegas for the amazing night life. I would always wear some of the skimpiest custom made outfits to try and make myself look older, in an attempt to get past the doormen (not even to drink, just to get in and dance). Eventually, I was approached by a Hollywood club promoter who told me I could get paid for doing the same thing. I started go-go dancing almost immediately at the most popular regular and afterhour L.A. hotspots and absolutely loved it. After finally having my braces removed, I found that modeling was an excellent alternate source of income that would allow me a more regular schedule and what seemed to be a more promising future. Upon the completion of my undergraduate studies, I choose to focus exclusively on acting as my career path and only continue to model as my schedule permits. I am confident you will see much more of me in the future, but in the meantime please enjoy my website and keep checking back for more information. Thank you, Holly :)
