Name: Molly Strang
Position: Jockey Hollow STEM school counselor
Previous Experience: Last year I was the interim STEM counselor and before that I worked in a K-8 charter school in Boston for two years.
Grew up in: Monroe, CT! Go Panthers!
Education: I’ve attended Monroe public schools since elementary school. I graduated from Masuk in 2014 and went to Fairfield University for college. I graduated in 2018 with my bachelor’s in psychology with minors in sociology and educational studies.
I jumped right into grad school at Fairfield U, where I got my Master’s degree in school counseling.
What do you like most about being a counselor?
My favorite part about being a school counselor is being able to work with students in a smaller setting. I love getting to know the students that I work with and help them navigate through all the ups and downs of middle school.
What are you most excited about working in Monroe?
Monroe has been my home for over 20 years. Working in this district had always been a dream of mine and I can finally say that it’s coming true!
Being able to work alongside teachers who had me in their classes growing up is such a full circle moment. I hope to make a difference in my students’ lives just like many of the faculty members here did for me.
