# Holly Thompson

##### PROJECT MANAGER

With versatility in building relationships, crunching numbers, shepherding workflows, and strategically connecting dots, **Holly Thompson** offers a robust partnership to our clients as their Project Manager.

Her diverse background in public and non-profit sectors includes election administration, overseeing cultural re-granting programs, communicating regulatory requirements for Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and managing operations for a community theatre.

In 2021, she furthered her understanding of the opportunities and challenges in government administration by completing the Certified Public Manager program at Florida State University.

A helper at heart, Holly currently preps food for Meals on Wheels, supports riverbank and trail clean-up along the James River, and facilitates Opening Minds Through Art, a program celebrating people with dementia.
