After being born in a van on the side of one of busiest streets in downtown Tampa, Holly Roach grew up with the significance of that event embedded in her mind. Her father delivered her with little to no knowledge of delivering a baby, but put his confidence in God to bring this new life into the world.
Holly Roach is originally from Tampa, Fl., but has lived in Mayfield, Ky. since she was eight years old. Holly’s mother, father, and sister currently reside in Mayfield, but her brother is living in Japan for the next few years.
She is a 21-year old senior at the University of the Cumberlands. Her major is Communication Arts and her minor is Psychology.
She is currently enrolled as a full time student and holds a part time job at Big Lots in Corbin as well as a work study job at the college television station, UCTV 19.
Journalism has always interested her because it gives people the ability to see what is going on in the world today. With taking journalism, she hopes to gain a better understanding of writing news stories and be able to decide what news is important and what is not.
Two movies that Holly recently saw were Once and Stranger Than Fiction. Even though both of these films were made a couple of years back, her interests were caught and loved that both of these films were completely different than most films coming out recently.
She recently downloaded three new songs. The songs are Dog Days are Over by Florence + the Machine, I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers, and Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons. Each of those songs was given to her as suggestions due to her eclectic taste in music.
Her two favorite books are “The Last Song” and “Icy Sparks.” These two books were given to her by her older sister that she hardly ever gets to see so both mean a lot to her.
Holly admires Rolling Stone because the writers of that magazine write about subjects that other writers are scared to touch on. Rolling Stone also offers a variety of different music and the new and upcoming artists.
Her current interests consist of reading, writing, and editing video. She hopes to earn an internship over the summer in Knoxville, Tenn. for the television station, HGTV. The goals she has set for herself in the future are getting a bachelor’s degree in Communication, a master’s degree in Mass Communication, and end up working for a prominent television station.
Holly came into this world in an interesting way, and hopes to end up living an interesting life through finding a career and the person she will eventually fall in love with.
