Holly Jian (Chief Advisor / Jeweler). Once upon a time, Holly grew up on reruns of Working Girl and Baby Boom and dreamed of becoming a kickass female exec on Wall Street, until one fateful day, when she got a random opportunity to eat dim sum on camera... and caught the acting bug. Since training at T Schreiber Studio, Holly has performed around the city at the Living Room Theater, NY Theater Festival, Theater for the New City, and most recently as socially awkward gamer in "Polly's Quest" at The Tank. Holly can also be spotted as oddball ticket booth girl in a festival short, "Pryor Time" and as a karaoke party girl on Aslove's "Put Your Records On" music video. Instagram: @hollyjian.
