Gonzalez brings years of experience creating dynamic videos to portraying Holmes, who is an inspiration to all who meet her. You may see her power-walking before work or carrying boxes up three flights of stairs without breaking a sweat. Holmes astounded everyone at the first HMW Benefits Health Fair last summer when her biometrics revealed her excellent physical condition. At age 67, Holmes is in her second career, having retired from the U.S. Postal Service as a mail carrier. Outside of HISD, she golfs, dances weekly with her partner, and volunteers extensively. Debbie’s advice is simply to stay active, a message that resonates with employees who want to get or stay in shape. HISD would like to recognize Deborah Holmes for her motivation, work ethic, and the way she inspires others to get and stay healthy.
