Holley Smart

Holley grew up in the foothills of North Carolina, moved to Raleigh for college and never left, although she will take any opportunity to get back up the mountains. She graduated from the InsurAcademy Spring 2025 class with her P&C License and joined NCAIA shortly after. She loves a good thrift store or farmers’ market, and is working on baking the perfect loaf of bread. She spends her time with her husband, cats, and a corn snake named Pumpkin.

• She used to ride horses competitively, and only fell off a few times.
• She joins the Star Wars, fantasy, and anime fans here on the team, and has such a large amount of books that her husband nearly refused to help her with them when they last moved.
