Caroline Holbrook 

I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky — a small city rooted in Southern hospitality and good ole' grit— which helped shape me into who I am, but also gave me the push to broaden my horizons. That push is what led me to Miami, where I'm studying Public Relations with a minor in Entrepreneurship, and where I've spent my college years stepping outside what I knew, and growing into it.

I was raised around strong business minds and entrepreneurs, and that influenced me more than I realized — watching people take risks and figure it out as they went instilled in me a drive to do the same, whether that's helping grow a brand or creating an experience someone won't forget. I bring that same energy to something as simple as planning a trip, tracking down the spots no one else knows about, and just getting out into my community to experience all it has to offer. But at the center of it all is hospitality: a genuine love for making people feel welcomed, seen, and taken care of. It's less a skill I learned and more an attitude I've had all my life, not truly realizing it till just a few years ago.

Thus far, my professional experience spans hospitality, brand strategy, and social media, and I've also modeled with an agency for several years — representing brands across the world, one of the more unexpectedly formative parts of my story.
