Molly joined KOMO News in 1997. She started as a nightside reporter and has worked every shift from weekends to early mornings, to her current role as an evening anchor. Along the way, she's won multiple Emmy awards for her reporting and anchoring.
Molly regularly volunteers her time as an emcee for various community groups. She is on the Honorary Board for Harborview's Children's Response Center and is a prior member of the Board of Directors for Starlight Children's Foundation.
Molly's interest in journalism came about in the seventh grade when she took a tour of the Missourian newspaper in Columbia, MO. She was hooked after that! From being the editor of her junior high and high school newspapers, to journalism camps and national student competitions, there was no looking back. Molly received her Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Missouri.
Before joining KOMO News, she spent five years as an anchor and reporter in Spokane.
Molly's husband is a retired television photographer who grew up in Central Washington. They have two children who graduated from the Issaquah School District.
