by | May 16, 2024 |

Holly Pearson and Andrew Hayes

It is with great pride that Darlene and Michael Hayes of Hopkinton announce the engagement of their son, Andrew Hayes, to Holly Pearson of Haverhill, daughter of Yvonne Merrill, Matthew Wynne and stepdad Peter Merrill.

Andrew is a graduate of Hopkinton High School and earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Massachusetts Maritime Academy. His B.S. degree reflects his respect for the environment and sustainable development in marine science, safety and environmental protection. That was followed with an M.S. in facilities management. Andrew is employed as an engineer in the Life Sciences Division of Lincoln Property Company.

Holly is a graduate of Haverhill High School and is employed as a learning and development manager with a global leader in the financial industry, where she manages a national team and is passionate about empowering individuals to unlock and obtain their fullest career potential.

Andrew and Holly got engaged last September within the Penguin Experience at the Mystic Aquarium. Like penguins, they plan to be life mates and are excited to be purchasing their first home.

Together with close family and friends, we are looking forward to celebrating their wedding in Wells, Maine, on Oct. 12.
