Molly Enking
Climate EditorMolly grew up in Southern Maine, went to school in Baltimore, then worked as a journalist in New York City and Florence, Italy. But, Maine's siren call was too strong and it was time to come home! Molly got her start in journalism covering national news at PBS NewsHour Weekend, and climate and environmental news at Grist. She received her MA from the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism with a concentration in science reporting. She was a fellow at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, reported from the U.N. Climate Summit, and was one of the first NYC TV journalists out in the field reporting on COVID-19.
Molly loves paddleboarding, pottery, and has a special fondness for camping at Baxter State Park.
