She taught middle school history and theatre for two years before working as a canvass director for Planned Parenthood—two jobs that bore a striking resemblance to each other in terms of helping people discover and articulate causes that they believe in. Her love of storytelling and human connection is what drives her in all endeavors.

Molly is an avid cook and baker. She loves trying new recipes and has recently started regularly baking her own bread to use in weekly meals and share with family and friends. She and her partner also host homemade pizza nights every Friday at their Brooklyn apartment where all their friends have an open invitation to stop by with whatever toppings they wish!
