Researcher and cataloger
Holly
Holly used to work in Broadcasting and IT in Manhattan. It comes as no surprise to those who know her that working here at Beck Estates is a much better fit. Since the age of 5 when she selected her own paint color for her bedroom, she has wanted to pursue a career in design, but she was just too darn good in the corporate world. Over 20 years ago, Holly worked her first on-site Beck Estate Sale and she’s been with us ever since, bringing her laser focus to researching even the most unusual of items.
