At 18, Holdyn took a hold of her life, went to UCLA and studied abroad in France. Against all odds she graduated from UCLA, as a first generation student. She moved out on her own, is working at Starbucks and working in her dream career as a Special Effects Makeup Artist. She is living her dream, and doing so well! In her free time she loves to go to the movies, and be in nature. She also hopes to publish a poetry book she has been working on for the past few years.
