Holly has dedicated her life to raising awareness about the consequences of reckless driving and her own experience with a life-altering car accident sparked her determination to not only save lives on our roads but to help young people build resilience through gratitude, hope and maintaining perspective.

With her engaging storytelling and genuine empathy, Holly connected with our Year 12 students on a profound level. She shared her harrowing experience of the accident, outlining the subsequent challenges she faced during her recovery.
