“She came to the interview with the checklist she’s been using over the time she’s been here, but with more guidance that was really geared to Evergreen, not just the system in general,” Gronwoldt stated.
Moloney’s a lifetime Washington resident from Sunnyside. Earlier than she moved to Vancouver, she had a number of years of expertise as a principal, classroom instructor and district administrator in Puyallup, Bethel and Franklin Pierce college districts, and ultimately as superintendent of the Chehalis Faculty District for 4 years.
She stated she liked her time in Chehalis and was capable of lead the district by the pandemic, however she missed working in bigger college districts and began trying round.
The Chehalis district, with 3,000 college students, is far smaller than Evergreen, which has nearly 22,000 college students.
Moloney described the Evergreen superintendent place as a “dream job.”
“What they were looking for in their next superintendent, I felt, was a perfect marriage of my values and who I am as a leader and the skills I bring to this role — particularly around leadership, relationship building and improving academic success for all students, and particularly marginalized populations as well,” Moloney stated.
