As a former educator and administrator, Garcia’s inspiration for becoming a teacher came from heartfelt conversations with her grandmother, who encouraged her to become anything she wanted to be – the President of the United States or a teacher. For over 20 years, she served as a bilingual teacher, instructional coach, and principal in high poverty schools, serving her last 10 years as an Administrator. An inspirational leader in professional development for her school and district, Molly taught workshops on leadership, brain research, and highly effective classroom practices. She is a former adjunct faculty member at Grand Canyon University, where she taught masters-level courses to future principals. She became a principal of a FranklinCovey Leader in Me Lighthouse School, and further expanded her influence in the education arena as a FranklinCovey Leader in Me Coach and Consultant, assisting and supporting schools in implementing Leader in Me. Molly’s passion is in empowering and inspiring all students and teachers, particularly in highly impoverished areas. She strongly believes “We are all better together.”
