Tel: 313-887-6514
Kathy Moloney began working with City Connect Detroit in the Fall of 2007 as Project Assistant for the Detroit Food and Fitness Collaborative. Working with Nikita Buckhoy, the Food and Fitness team provides City Connect Detroit leadership to the collaborative. In her role, Kathy assists in communications, planning and executing collaborative activities and the coordination of collaborative members. Kathy is also heavily involved in researching relevant issues that continue to emerge surrounding food and fitness, including research around urban food systems and the built environment.
Before coming to City Connect Detroit, Kathy worked as a maternal child social worker for over twenty years. In her last position at St. John Detroit Riverview Hospital Kathy started a successful farmers market, which catered to the community as well as hospital workers. The farmers market at St. Johns Riverview also provided the model that launched two other community based farmers markets at St. Johns sites, Providence Hospital and the St. Johns Corporate site.
Following her career as a social worker, Kathy, who has her Masters in Community Health Education, wanted to get more involved in the community and has always had a longstanding interest in wellness, which lead her to her current position here at City Connect Detroit. Kathy earned her Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of Michigan and her Masters degree from Wayne State University.
Between changing attitudes in Detroit towards food and fitness and starting community gardens, Kathy sings second soprano in a community choir and loves breathing in the fresh air outdoors while biking, hiking and kayaking.
