Molly Fife

Molly Fife is an implementation support associate for PhD Science. Before joining Great Minds, Molly taught elementary school for seven years in Washington, DC, Louisiana, and North Carolina. Throughout her teaching career, Molly found that it was during science instruction when her students’ natural curiosity and engagement really shone but that resources and support for science educators were often limited or nonexistent. Her passion to see that all students should receive a high-quality education, including in science, ultimately led her to join the PhD Science team, where she gained a deep understanding of the curriculum’s learning design while helping to develop the Great Minds in Sync continuous learning program in the early days of the pandemic. Molly looks forward to working with teachers through coaching and professional development sessions this summer and into the 2021–2022 school year. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.
