Meet Molly
Hi there. I’m a writer, actor, and communications expert.
In high-stakes environments, whether you're pitching in a Silicon Valley boardroom, leading a product review, or navigating tough negotiations, what you say matters. But how you show up matters even more. Presence, clarity, and authenticity aren’t soft skills: they’re power skills. And in a world that’s increasingly driven by automation and surface-level noise, being unmistakably human with a clear, grounded point of view is a serious advantage. That’s where I come in.
My unique background:
- PROFESSIONAL ACTOR: I understand presence.
- WRITER for TV & FILM: I know story inside and out.
- EDUCATOR: I can make any concept accessible.
With over 20 years of experience, I have a distinct edge in helping people communicate with genuine presence and lasting impact. I’ve worked with everyone from Fortune 500 companies to incarcerated youth. I believe everyone has a voice. Let me help you find yours.
