About Molly

Molly is 26 years old and from Minneapolis, MN, but it seems she finds herself elsewhere quite often. Some of her adventures have been climbing the Great Wall of China, spear fishing in the Keys (and getting chased by a shark), riding camels and carpets in Jerusalem, floating in the Dead Sea in Israel and soaking up nutrients from the world famous mineral mud, going to Nationals for college volleyball, getting lost in Turkey, 4 wheeling in Greece, eating very interesting sushi in Japan, riding her motorcycle around Minneapolis and cliff jumping on the island of Saipan. Her latest adventure took place in Minneapolis where she developed Overflow Espresso Café.

The platform Molly stands on is her own life story. Announcing that she is 26 years old and a virgin seems to get her audience's attention! As one student put it, "She is living proof". She is passionate in the way she shares this message, and passionate in the way she lives it out. Molly committed to abstinence at the age of 13 and spent her teen years and early adulthood making choices that reflect her high standards.

Molly desires to be a role model to teens, proving that it is possible to live above the influence and have a blast while doing so! Her accomplishments are many. Molly served three years as high school class president, while maintaining a 4.0 and playing 3 sports. After high school, she spent one year in a discipleship training school through Youth With a Mission. During that year she did missions work in Turkey, China and Mexico.

Molly graduated from North Central University in May of 2006 and holds a bachelors degree in Elementary Education. She was the captain of her college volleyball team, made it on the Dean's List every semester, and has traveled to 9 countries. She was awarded Elementary Education Student of the Year, and most recently developed a business at age 25. Molly has taken many opportunities to lead and motivate and continues to do so as she travels and speaks full time influencing today's youth.

Molly is motivated to reverse the daunting statistics of STD's (1 in 4 teens) and teen pregnancy (over 2,000 each day) and to bring hope to the young people who feel lost in life. Her goal is to silence the stories she so often hears from students whose lives have been severely impacted by their choices.

Though Molly's ultimate motivation stems from her faith, she understands the sensitive boundaries of what is acceptable to share in the public school setting. However, when invited, she will share unapologetically about her faith in Jesus Christ. Regardless of the setting and the message, be assured that her audience will leave challenged, equipped and wanting more.
