She also coordinated pretrial and bail reform efforts for the New York City Mayor’s Office, served as legislative counsel for a New York City Council Member, and worked in the General Counsel’s Office at NYU. Molly received her B.S. in Geophysics and Science and Society from Brown University and her J.D. from Harvard Law School, magna cum laude.
