Molly has grown up in the PNW with a passion for the outdoors, and contributing to her community. She received a Bachelors in Anthropology, and a psychology minor from Washington State University - Vancouver, where she studied primatology, behavior, and sociocultural anthropology. Molly is also a proponent of the collaborative One Health Model that recognizes the interconnection of human, animal, and environmental health and their influence on one another. That experience led her in her journey to OPR where she has been a devoted volunteer, and board member supporting the well being of primates at the sanctuary and beyond.
