She received her Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership and a master’s degree in School Counseling from Northwest Nazarene University. Molly is a proud alum of The College of Idaho, where she earned her B.A. in Education and Spanish while having the opportunity to study abroad in Xalapa, Mexico. 

As a school counselor, with experience spanning elementary and secondary schools, Molly understands the vast and diverse needs facing children and schools today. Molly’s secondary school counseling team has proven its dedication to providing academic, personal/social, and career development by earning the Recognized American Model Program (RAMP) recognition among American School Counseling Programs.

All of these professional experiences gave her a unique perspective and developed core skills such as curriculum planning, engagement, and collaboration. 

Most recently, Molly has implemented Sources of Strength at her school, a suicide prevention program that focuses on fostering Hope, Health, and Strength. She has attended the Trauma Resource Institute’s level-one clinician training and learned key skills. Molly has also completed the Positive Education Certificate from The Flourishing Center. 

Molly enjoys learning new skills, playing tennis, and doing outdoor activities with her husband and her two enthusiastic children.
