Holly is currently developing a public affairs campaign for the Northwest Municipal Conference, an organization of suburban communities seeking to build public and legislative support for statewide pension reform. She is also managing the creation of a website for the translation firm, Quintana, Inc., crafting compelling content and coordinating the development process from start to finish. Holly also recently provided communication and coalition outreach support for the Illinois Premature Infant Health Network, a group of physicians and healthcare professionals focused on improving access to quality healthcare for premature infants and their families across the state.

Prior to joining CG&A, Holly spent more than four years in Frankfurt, Germany, where she immersed herself in the German culture and advanced her fluency in the language. It was in Germany that she entered the world of journalism and media relations as a translator and financial news writer for Dow Jones Newswires. Upon her return to the U.S., Holly first worked as a beat reporter in Chicago, covering equity options and derivatives trading markets.

Holly graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Arts in German and minors in Spanish and Business. She is a volunteer with Chicago Cares, and in keeping with her love of foreign languages, participates in both German and Spanish language clubs.
