Holbrook is a dabbler. As far back as she can remember, she has been passionate about trying new things, capitalizing on opportunities and exploring all that life has to offer. She follows her greatest loves in life—from rock shows to dance floors to runways—wherever her jet-set mentality leads. Two weeks ago she graduated from UNLV with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and media studies, a minor in film and plenty of excitement at what the future will bring. She now begins her first “real job” as Vegas Seven’s calendar coordinator and a nightlife writer.
