In her free time, Molly enjoys being active in adult sport leagues (kickball and volleyball), outdoor activities and acrylic painting. She has been displayed as the “featured artist of the month” at a local brewery and plans to display more artwork in Eastern NC. Through these outlets, Molly is able to connect to the community outside of her profession, while utilizing some of her talents. Go Pirates!
