      <image:title>Meet Our Staff &amp; Board - Molly Riddle</image:title>
      <image:caption>Molly Riddle is a native of Yancey County NC. She studied Environmental Studies and agriculture at Brevard College and graduated in 2019. She now works as a College Adviser for the Appalachian State College Advising Corps. While working for this organization she has realized that her degree in environmental studies and her job of sending students to college is a lot more connected that what she originally thought! As a first generation college student, like most of the students she works with, she knows that college can be a life changing experience. She hopes that her students feel encouraged to go off and learn more about the world and then come back to WNC more informed, compassionate, and worldly individuals. She is passionate about a lot of things, but most of those are centered around the Appalachian Mountains and the people here.</image:caption>
