Journalist | Writer | Grassroots Storyteller

Hi, I’m Molly. Based in DC, I am a reporter especially interested in labor policy, education policy, and political news coverage.

More About Molly

I currently work as an Editorial Fellow for Washingtonian Magazine. Motivated by a love of writing and an appreciation for journalism as a necessary art, I hope to help elevate the unique stories of everyday, community change-makers.

In May 2024, I graduated from the College of William and Mary with a BA in history and English. I graduated with High Honors in the history department after completing an honors thesis titled “‘Agent Orange is Our Nemesis’ : The Blue Water Navy Veterans’ Battle for Dioxin Compensation Amidst the Ongoing Vietnam War”.

As a passionate advocate for the power of grassroots storytelling and investigative journalism, I worked as the Editor-in-Chief of The Flat Hat at the College of William and Mary to create and edit student and community stories. I also previously worked as a reporter for The Retrospect in Collingswood, NJ, focused on the local government beat.

If I am not reporting, you can find me running, playing tennis, watching the Phillies, or drinking lots of coffee.
