Molly's Bio

I grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, outside of Washington, D.C.  I have a B.A. in Communications: Rhetoric from the University of Pittsburgh and an M.S. in Social Policy and Planning from the London School of Economics.  I spent 4 years living  abroad between Costa Rica, Spain and England, where I studied at university and taught English.   For the past three years, I have worked as a health policy analyst on the Medicare and Medicaid programs for the federal government.  I try to get out of the country as much as possible and have been very fortunate to recently visit both Kenya and Tanzania, where I met the amazing individuals who run SIDAREC and Maasai Wanderings.  I currently live in Washington, D.C. with my dog, Ozzy.


     Little did I know when I stood before Mount
     Kilimanjaro in Amboseli Park, Kenya on New
     Year's Day 2006 that I would spend 7 days of
     2007 summiting "The Roof of Africa."
