about me::

Welcome, my name is Molly! I am a Bay Area native, former luxury hospitality professional, wife, new mom, dog mom, friend, daughter, creative and lifelong traveler and learner. We currently reside on the Big Island of Hawai’i and have been savoring this chapter of truly being a little family.

fun facts::

  • My husband and I started dating when we were 18 and got married 10 years later! We survived many spurts of 3-7 months of long distance and didn’t live in the same state for two full years.

  • When I was born, my dad was 60 years old. His retirement was my childhood and he was a stay at home dad, which was so rare in the early 90s, but I couldn’t have written a better story for my youth if I tried. He passed away when I was 26 and I do my best to keep him present in my life every day.

  • I was born an aunt to two nieces and one nephew! My dad had three boys and we have a 30+ year age difference, so their children are my age. We all feel more like cousins, but I am a pretty cool aunt.

  • In 2013, I lived in three states - Hawaii, California and Washington… that made for interesting tax returns.

  • We have a rescue “discount doodle” named Hamilton as an ode to the street we both lived on as freshmen at Gonzaga

  • I made sure to visit 30 states before 30. Now the new goal will be to visit all 50 before turning 50.

  • I have worked in hospitality since 2011 and been employed by many luxury hotel brands including Fairmont, Ritz-Carlton, Rosewood and Four Seasons. My specialty was in the Catering and Events world and I am currently freelancing as an event planner.

  • My daughter was born in October 2022 and live has been so much sweeter since. She is the joy of my life & I feel very lucky to be there as she learns so much about the world each day.
