Experience

Molly began her post-college career as the managing editor of St. Augustine Social magazine in St. Augustine, FL, where she wrote about the lifestyle and vibrant culinary culture of the region. After a brief career as an English teacher, she spent several years with the U.S. federal government as an editor of foreign policy analysis. However, she never missed an opportunity to take advantage of the DC area's diverse cuisine. Now, Molly has returned to her Southern roots and works as a city editor for AVLtoday in Asheville, NC, where the award-winning food scene never disappoints and always provides fodder for her written work.

Education

Molly holds bachelor's degrees in English and philosophy/religion from Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL, and her master's degree in liberal arts from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
