Holley Paris

I moved down here to Orlando back in 2006 to get my bachelors degree in Forensic Science. Years later, I've continued in the Entertainment field (which I started in at Six Flags America) as many roles with several companies. In addition to being a make-up and wardrobe technician at Blue Man Group for 9 years, I also worked in the tour for 42nd Street, and was the head costumer for a production of Peter Pan with the Bay Street Players.

Presently I am working with Kern Artistry with the Mardi Gras parade at Universal Orlando Resort. I also work with several shows for Universal as a tech, costumer, and dresser. When I'm not doing any of that, I bartend at Top Golf.

I've got plenty of memories from high school, no one stands out at the moment. I had just moved there for freshman year so I didn't know anyone like most of you did, but I made a handful of great friends.

If I had to pick one, I'd say getting my one win when I was on the wrestling team during my junior year stands out in my head. I've been a bouncer and head of security for a nightclub in DC before, and I gained a lot of confidence from that experience. Being the only female in sports and occupations often, I've had to deal with a lot of crap and had to prove myself a lot. It definitely helped get me started in becoming the strong-willed confident woman I am today.
