Molly received a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA in 2014. She also attended North Carolina State University where she received her master’s and Ph.D. in mathematics.
She loves living in Roanoke and exploring trails and greenways with her dog Mookie! Her favorite sports team is the North Carolina Courage.

Research Interests
My research interests are in combinatorics. My main focus of research is on the combinatorics of crystal graphs. These are certain graphs that arise in representation theory that have a beautiful combinatorial description.
