A typical day at the office might find Molly Nicholie teaching children how to turn cucumbers into pickles,
working with school Child Nutrition directors to promote local produce in public school cafeterias, or facilitating workshops for
teachers on linking school gardens to the curriculum. At Warren Wilson, alum Molly Nicholie majored in Environmental
Studies with a concentration in environmental education and forestry. She works now as the program coordinator for Growing Minds
Farm to School program with the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP) here in Asheville, NC. Growing Minds
cultivates relationships between farms and schools to create wellness-focused learning environments for children. In her position,
Molly has collaborated with environmental education classes on campus, from facilitating workshops to providing internships
for students. With her husband Richard Sanders and son, they also manage a organic farm and forest.
Before her job with Growing Minds, Molly gained experience in diverse locations, from working as an environmental educator with the
Buncombe County Soil and Water Conservation District to doing biological field work in Puerto Rico.
