Holstrom has administered more than $5 million in grant funds for WBDC, overseeing endeavors like the redevelopment of the former Worcester Telegram & Gazette building and the demolition of a former manufacturing facility in the heart of Worcester’s Canal District. She joined WBDC in 2008 after serving as legislative director in the Massachusetts Senate and working in the city’s economic development office.
She serves as a member of the Theatre District Alliance and on the fundraising committee for the Ecotarium.
What is your main professional goal? To play an active role in the downtown community, to realize a revitalized area bustling with activity.
What would you like to go back and tell your 10-year-old self? I would tell her not to be afraid of thunder and lightning because its strength will end up being an inspiration.
I prepare for the unexpected by... trying to learn as much as I can to make the unexpected less unpredictable.
Who is the fictional character you are most like? Belle from “Beauty and the Beast” – a strong woman with an incurable sense of adventure and an ability to see kindness in others.
