About Molly
I have spent 25 years in services to vulnerable children and families. Most recently, I spent 10 years as the Director for the Baltimore City Department of Social Services where I manage the City’s child welfare and public assistance programs. During that time period, we championed a reform effort that dramatically improved the impact of services to vulnerable citizens of Baltimore, including reducing the number of children in foster care by 71%. We created a business model for the agency that is now considered a national model for modern social services. In the end we provided a proof point of the reinvention of foster care: in Baltimore 40% of the children that come into foster care now go home safely to their families within in the first 90 days. I joined the Department after 15 years in the field of social services including managing human services reform in Chicago and in Washington DC. I hold a masters degree from Loyola University and I am a fellow with the Annie E. Casey Foundation. I live in Baltimore with my family.
