Molly Gadenz
The Riverline Outreach Coordinator
Molly has been working with The Riverline since August, 2022. She holds a M.Ed. and was a high school guidance counselor for over 15 years. In 2012, Molly moved to London, UK. It was a re-invention of sorts: she volunteered with Thames21, an urban waterway non-profit, and was eventually hired to implement their Training Program. She also co-founded a community group called the Lower Regents Coalition that “adopted” a section of the Regents Canal in east London. The group became a formidable stakeholder and community resource, securing grants and making ecological improvements to the canal and surrounding areas with the help of public involvement. Molly’s passion is collaborating with diverse groups of people. She also loves to hike, knit, and spend time with family and friends.
