Molly Levin Rouse

Molly Levin Rouse was born and raised in western North Carolina. After majoring in Latin American Studies at Carleton College in Minnesota in 2001, she moved to Asheville where she worked for two years with a local nonprofit to raise literacy and conflict resolution abilities in public school students. In 2003, Rouse pursued her Masters in Applied Anthropology at the University of Maryland. Her love of her native mountains and their culture drew her back home for her graduate practicum: working for HandMade in America, developing a survey tool to measure the impact of Handmade's Small Towns Revitalization Program on residents' quality of life. She now lives in Asheville, NC with her husband and teaches Anthropology at UNC-Asheville. Rouse is keenly interested in community development, and the roles individuals play in forging their communities' futures.
