Friends of the Fells is thrilled to welcome and introduce Mollie O’Leary, our Development and Communications Manager.
Mollie started her career as an English teacher and a Track & Field coach. Her love of language and community-building led her to Beacon Hill Books, where she focused on improving the bookstore’s web presence, online sales, and external communications.
”Friends of the Fells is delighted to welcome Mollie to our staff team,” says Chris Redfern, the Executive Director of Friends of the Fells. “Her passion for the Fells and background in communications allows us to up our game in connecting people to the Fells and better protecting our favorite forest.”
You may have already seen some of Mollie’s work in our newsletters and via our social media channels. Keep an eye out for more fun and engaging communications and increased information about our current and upcoming projects from Mollie.
“I’m so excited to be a part of the Friends of the Fells team and to support an organization that aligns with my own values around conservation, sustainability, and community,” says Mollie. “I’ve spent many afternoons hiking and running in the Fells, and it’s great to be able to give back to a place that has been the backdrop of so many great memories.”
When she’s not crafting beautiful communications about the Fells and our work, Mollie enjoys bike-commuting to the office, going for runs along the Charles (and in the Fells!), and writing poetry in local coffee shops.
Welcome to the Fells team, Mollie – we’re excited to have you join us!
