Hi, I’m Mollie

I work in the social sciences, supporting most studies at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood within the Graduate School of Education. (2024-current)

I earned a Masters in Education in Human Development and Education, Early Childhood Concentration at Harvard Graduate School of Education. (2023)

Before HGSE, I studied Race, Gender and Sexuality at Mills College in Oakland, CA.

Tokyo
In the late afternoon between summer and fall, people are enjoying Shinjuku gyoen (park) with lush green trees, grass, and a traditional pavilion in the background. It looks painterly or fake, but is mostly untouched besides color adjustment.

(I also do creative work)

I was a photographer for many years before returning to school to study Education. I am passionate about arts integration in early childhood settings, especially because of the positive impact of arts and art therapy on early development!
