reinforcement for them, helping them with education and ensuring they have an advocate for them while being their cheerleader on the sidelines. Who or what inspires you? I’ve been very blessed and fortunate to have many positive role models in my life who have shaped me and inspired me to work hard to become who I am today and to keep pushing. I would say my biggest motivator today is my own family, my husband Kevin, and our three young girls – Annabelle (6), Lillian (4) and Emma (2). How do you define success? Success for me is different each day, project, relationship, etc. In my eyes, I measure success when I’ve had the ability to learn and grow from something. What are you reading or listening to? This past month I’ve been in summer break mode with the kids, i.e., not as heavy on the educational side, so I’ve been catching up on the New Heights and The Light podcasts. What’s your go-to comfort food? Oh goodness, I was raised on meat and potatoes, so I do love some good home-cooked meatloaf and mashed potatoes – even better when I don’t have to make it! What do you do for fun when you’re not working? I mentioned my family earlier, and they are my world! When I’m not working, I’m soaking up the time with them. As a mother to young kids, I feel like I don’t have many hobbies of my own right now, but together we enjoy the outdoors, gardening, bike rides, going for walks, and I love watching my girls try new things. Their current hobbies include tap dance, swimming, basketball and tee-ball! One thing I do enjoy for myself is working out about three times a week. “Mollie is a role model, mentor and community advocate who exemplifies the First Financial culture and values.
