Molly, an alum of both Cornell University and Teachers College Columbia University, was a NYC public school teacher for several years before focusing her work exclusively on literacy.

While in the classroom, she was a key contributor to numerous units in widely-used curriculum, and has presented at a variety of national conferences.

Molly works closely with Jennifer Serravallo on her team of consultants and as a freelance writer. She wrote the research whitepaper for Complete Comprehension, collaborated with Jen on three book-based study guides, and is the primary developer of additional assessment texts for Complete Comprehension. She is also one of the primary admins in the Reading and Writing Strategies Facebook Group.

If she's not in a school, Molly can usually be found at the Northport Library or her local independent book store, or co-leading her local chapter of Not in Our Town, an organization to stop hate, racism and bullying, and build safe, inclusive communities for all.
