Hi, I’m Mollie

I work in the social sciences, supporting most studies at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, a research lab within the Graduate School of Education.

I earned a Masters in Education in Human Development and Education, Early Childhood Concentration at Harvard Graduate School of Education. (Ed.M. ‘23)

Before HGSE, I studied Race, Gender and Sexuality at Mills College in Oakland, CA.

I recently joined Compound Studios, an interdisciplinary, shared art facility in Berkeley.

A busy London city street scene at just above eye level: an awning, a centered CCTV, a brick building with curved windows and curved archways above them. A construction crane, yellow storage tanks, street signs and shadows from the tall crane.
A woman in a nun's habit walking past a building with a sign that says 'Speed Lunch 9,99€'. The scene is warm yellow with long shadows. Reflections past the nun look glassy against the otherwise flat yellow stone taking over most of the image.
Tokyo city buildings with large Coca-Cola billboard and blank billboard against a clear blue sky. The buildings look like 50-60s era but it's hard to tell because the billboards are timeless as if the picture could have been taken 60 or 5 years ago.
A shikibuton on tatami mats with mismatched striped bedding and pillows. Next to the bed is a small wooden side table with a can on it. There is a sliding glass door with wooden shoji screening and a view of a balcony or outdoor area.
Men swimming and relaxing at a water pool near a lighthouse structure over water, with modern buildings and a partly cloudy sky in the background. One man looks like an archetypal strong man figure with a v-shaped torso and small speedo.
Interior of a cozy bar with people socializing. Left side shows a bar counter with various bottles, glasses, and patrons, while the right side features a woman behind the bar, shelves with framed photos, and a ceiling decorated with pictures.
Interior of a commuter train with passengers seated and luggage at their feet, hanging straps and advertisement posters overhead, a blue banner with a logo at the front, and passengers using electronic devices.
Two fishing rods resting on a weathered wooden dock, with water below and a partially visible rock formation in the background.
A street scene in a city with a digital mirror reflecting two people sitting and talking at a table, surrounded by tall buildings and power lines.
City street with overhead power lines, multi-story buildings with various signs, balconies, and a clear sky.
A woman riding a bicycle on a city street in front of traditional-looking wooden houses with potted plants and greenery.
A baseball stadium at night with a young person in a baseball uniform selling beer to spectators.
A vintage, Japanese beige bicycle with a brown saddle and a woven basket mounted on the front, parked against a concrete wall on a stone-paved sidewalk. Shot with a wide angle lens around Nakameguro.
An older woman walking across a striking, graphic Tokyo crosswalk with a rolling suitcase, surrounded by tall buildings, a scooter, and other pedestrians. Early evening, woman alone, Japan.
Young couple or friends walking under an outdoor pedestrian bridge on a Tokyo sidewalk, some wearing face masks. Near Omotesando, walking toward Meiji-Jingumae.
A young girl in a pink dress standing on a grassy field in a park during a busy outdoor fair in Tokyo. In the background, many people are gathered around a large wooden climbing structure, with kids climbing on it. The photo is wide angle, Leica.
A quiet Tokyo street with an old building storefront, two bicycles parked outside, and a pedestrian walking down the sidewalk during daytime. Striking, graphic traffic directions are painted on the street.
Collection of carefully-arranged vintage and handmade kitchenware and pottery on a fabric-covered table, including bowls, cups, jars, metal containers, and wooden utensils. Tokyo, Japan.
Collection of various old and vintage items laid out on a cloth at a flea market. A clock, glassware, a toy gun, keys, photos, a scale, and decorative fabrics are carefully arranged.
Tokyo
In the late afternoon between summer and fall, people are enjoying Shinjuku gyoen (park) with lush green trees, grass, and a traditional pavilion in the background. It looks painterly or fake, but is mostly untouched besides color adjustment.
Leica wide angle photo of a crowd of people crossing railway tracks on the edge of Shimokitazawa, some riding bikes and others walking, under train crossing signals on a sunny day.
Large heads of Napa cabbage drying outside a home in Tokyo, resting on a wire basket lined with newspaper, near a glass door and sidewalk.
Two elderly men in pressed shirts walking across a pedestrian crosswalk in Tokyo. Long shadows and the fact that they have their jackets off suggest that it's afternoon and warm.
Japan. Tokyo. A person riding a white bicycle along a pedestrian sidewalk in an urban area, with several pedestrians walking nearby.
A ficus plant potted in a sushi or fish delivery box is sitting by a back door. A yellow and green striped snake plant on a sidewalk next to a building with postal boxes and a garage door. Tokyo Japan.
Tokyo Japan. Late afternoon. An elderly man riding a black bicycle with baskets on a city street, crossing at a pedestrian crosswalk with tall buildings in the background. He is exerting himself and squinting into the afternoon sun, hunched over.
Tokyo Japan. A can of peach-flavored beverage on a wooden table near a sliding door with sunlight streaming through.
