Background

About Molly Doherty

I’m a student at Kent State University studying Economics and History, with minors in Marketing and Art History. My background combines nonprofit work, public history, and communications—fields that let me bring together research, creativity, and a genuine interest in connecting people with meaningful causes. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with museums and cultural institutions in a range of roles—from marketing and fundraising to curatorial research and exhibition prep. At the Bradford House Museum, I helped redesign the newsletter, updated social media and the website, and supported fundraising efforts through event promotion and sponsor outreach. At the KSU Museum and Old Economy Village, I’ve worked on everything from textile inventories to curating exhibits and collections research. I’m especially interested in the kind of nonprofit work that blends strategy with storytelling—whether that’s crafting donor materials, managing outreach campaigns, or planning events that bring people together. No matter the role, I care about helping organizations build strong, thoughtful relationships with their audiences and communities. I’m always looking for new ways to grow in the nonprofit space, especially in marketing, development, and communications roles that support meaningful work and strong community impact.
