Senior Admissions Advisor

Originally from Prescott, Arizona, Molly started working in higher education advising in 2011 after leaving a career in import and export sales. Molly was inspired to join ACHS as she’d been raised in a family that was dedicated followers of alternative medicine practices and self sufficiency skills. She’d also been treating her own autoimmune health issues for many years with yoga and natural medicine and is a firm believer in the integrative and holistic approach to wellness. Molly worked at Grand Canyon University in advising and completed yoga teacher training (200hr) in 2019. She has 15 years of advising online students, personal experience with chronic illness and using an integrative approach to treatment. She earned her masters degree in leadership online while working a full time job. Molly grew up in a family that homeschooled and was active in the homeschool community. She practices active listening and problem solving. Molly is knowledgeable of programs, career outcomes and credentialing in the wellness industry.

One of Molly’s professional accomplishments was completing a graduate degree as she was one of the first people in her family to do so. She is also proud of completing yoga teacher training, working at ACHS and contributing to the promotion of integrative health and wellness in the US. Personally, she’s proud of hiking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal in 2019, completing a Rim to Rim hike of the Grand Canyon in one day in 2015, traveling to 15 different countries in 15 years and leaving roots and a job to move to Oregon in 2016.

“I’m excited every day to meet people who have such passion to help, grow, heal and improve the world in so many different and interesting ways. It feeds my soul and reminds me that that there are people out there that care and want to work towards an improved future.“
