Early life and education

Holliday was born and grew up in Denver, Colorado. [3] [ better source needed ] After high school,[ where? ][ citation needed ] she attended the University of San Diego (USD). [4]

When a freshman-year back injury prevented her from acting on a plan to play basketball with the USD Toreros, she turned to a "wide range" of other student activities. [4] Around a study abroad period (in Spain),[ when? ] she was a member of Alpha Phi sorority, and was involved in producing and anchoring programs for the university's student-run television station, USDtv, a part of USD Media. [4] [5] She also "pursued numerous internships and jobs" alongside her course work, and explored "her passion for broadcast journalism" in an internship at San Diego's NBC station.[ clarification needed ] [4] Holliday earned an undergraduate degree in business administration, graduating in 2008. [4]

Career

As described in interview, Holliday states that she began her post-graduate career as a reporter for Gen-Y news in Columbus, Ohio, for a college network "just getting off the ground", Palestra.net . [4] [ better source needed ] In her reporting there, she and a co-worker investigated cases of alleged voter fraud in Ohio during the 2008 presidential election. [6] [4] In interview, Holliday describes the experience as formative, in its developing in her "a passion for investigative journalism" and an "appreciation for the power of journalism", noting that "[s]ome... voters were later prosecuted", and that Ohio law was changed "to close problematic loopholes". [4] In that time, which she descibes in interview as being "an incredible experience", she states that she was assigned to cover major events that included the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the Kentucky Derby, New York Fashion Week, and the Sundance Film Festival, [4] [ better source needed ] and that in doing so, she was given opportunity to contribute to "various Fox News and Fox Business shows". [4] [ better source needed ] After Palestra, she reported for UWIRE, a college news network in partnership with News Corp, and appeared on "various Fox News and Fox Business platforms, and... co-hosted the live-streaming Fox News 'Strategy Room' leading up to the 2008 presidential election".

By at least 2010, Holliday had joined Channel One News in New York City, working as a reporter and host, [4] "where she traveled around the world to educate... youth about current events and international affairs", [3] [ better source needed ] stating in interview that she was "grateful for the opportunity to cover issues affecting our nation's youth". [4] She anchored for them in that period, through 2014, a Channel One role that earlier had been occupied by many individuals—Anderson Cooper, Lisa Ling, Serena Altschul, Tracy Smith, Seth Doane, and Maria Menounos—e.g., that went on to award-winning major media positions. [7] There, international news producing and reporting credits included stories on Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines,[ when? ][ citation needed ] on Nelson Mandela's funeral in South Africa,[ when? ]{[ citation needed ] on military tribunals at the Guantanamo Bay detention center,[ when? ][ citation needed ] and on China's rise to global power (2014).
