Molly Bailey
Client Service Coordinator
I grew up in a small mountain town and have fond memories of horseback riding on mountain trails. My grandparents adopted me, so teaching others about any technology comes secondhand. My family moved to the Winston-Salem area, where I spent my middle and high school years. I attended college in Greensboro, graduating from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Minor in Anthropology. After college, my husband received a compelling job offer, and we relocated to Raleigh. We recently bought a home in Apex that truly feels like home, with our three cats and dog. In my free time, I enjoy walking on the greenway, kayaking, and playing video games. I am grateful for all the experiences I’ve had in North Carolina and love the sense of community and camaraderie our state offers.
I look forward to getting to know current and prospective businesses and seeing how LightWire can improve their technology solutions!
