In making a career choice, Holly Morgan decided to follow in the footsteps of her uncle, who was a dental hygienist in the Marines. She has never regretted that move.
Although she was born in Scottdale, Morgan moved to Mt. Pleasant when she was young. She graduated from Mt. Pleasant Area High School and attended Westmoreland County Community College. She transferred to the University of Pittsburgh's main campus, where she earned her degree in dental assisting. She worked for a few dentists before settling in with Dr. Jim McCloy and Dr. Jeff McCloy.
There aren't many people who can say that they go to the beach as a hobby, but Morgan can.
Morgan and her family travel to Virginia or Rehoboth beach four times a year. There they enjoy the water and the sun. Possessing a talent for the arts, Morgan loves to draw. From her younger drawing days, Snoopy was a favorite character to create on paper. Since then, she has collected Snoopy memorabilia.
When she was young, her grandmother started to teach her to play the piano. Soon after the lessons started, however, her grandmother died. But that didn't stop Morgan. She taught herself to read music and to play.
Morgan likes to take walks with her daughter, Haley. She also enjoys bike riding.
Her favorite television show is "All My Children." She also likes country music. She has helped with a number of organizations, including Students Against Destructive Decisions. She also did volunteer work with the handicapped through ARC.
Morgan likes to stay busy and take on as much of life and her surroundings as she can.
