  • As a senior editor at Lifewire (People Inc.), Molly relaunched its tech reviews section with hands-on testing and created an up-to-the-minute deals and shopping hub.
  • She utilizes her tech knowledge while cycling around the city -- she always keeps her Apple Watch on to check her rings or plot out new routes with Komoot.
  • Molly is most proud of a feature article she wrote about the technological elements of crowdfunding sites, centered around Coolest Cooler's Kickstarter campaign, and the series of manufacturing and tariff-related issues it encountered.

Experience

Molly is a tech journalist with over 15 years of experience in the consumer electronics industry. She's assigned and edited hundreds of product reviews and written a fair amount of tech commentary, news pieces, and blog posts for Lifewire, PCMag (Ziff Davis), and other publications. Molly has covered major tech milestones over the years, including the original iPhone, the birth of Android, and the rise and fall of many consumer electronics categories, such as the long-forgotten phablet. She's always enjoyed breaking down complex topics for a general audience and helping them understand the difference between what is simply hype and what is real in the ever-changing world of technology.

Education

Molly has a bachelor's degree in Latin American studies from NYU and a master's degree in journalism & technical writing from NYU Tandon Center for Engineering.
