Molly Naef: The Interesting Hobbyist

By Riley Stroman

Molly Naef loves to bake. She would rather whip up a chocolate mint soufflé than take a trip to the mall. She can bake anything from cookies to cakes.

Apart from baking, she also likes gardening. Naef grows herbs and some vegetables and can bake a quiche using some of her veggies.

“Gardening helps me clear my head,” Naef says.

Naef is currently a junior at Nottingham High School. She wants to pursue a career in journalism. “I want to be able to tell people about the issues that I think are important.”

Naef enjoys watching action movies with her mom and dad. She has a 28-year old stepsister who is hoping for a baby. Naef is excited about the thought of being an aunt. Adding another family member to the movie nights and baking sessions won’t hurt.

Her mother showed her how to belly dance when she was 11. She has been dancing since.

Her passion for herbs and vegetables fuels her drive to expose environmental corruption. She hopes to use her love for writing to muckrake corporations who are trying to hide global problems.

“I believe that if people know what is happening to the planet," Naef said, "they can help the situation, not make it worse."
