Education & Career Highlights

Over the past 15 years, Molly has expanded her impact in the world of secondary and postsecondary education. Molly began her career teaching English at a Title 1 Chicago Public High School and was quickly asked to join the Instructional Leadership Team in her building. She designed a district-recognized ninth grade mentoring program and served as the school’s Freshman On-Track Coordinator for five years. Seeking impact beyond a single school building, Molly then spent seven years at a college access nonprofit where her team successfully increased postsecondary enrollment in some of the most under-resourced Chicago Public Schools. Molly also designs English Language Arts and Postsecondary curriculum materials and trains educators on story-telling practices.
