Molly McCloy shares her story at Gertrude's at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix.

KJZZ partners with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers series. We record the live events and share them with you on the radio. In Phoenix, the storytellers sometimes share stories about our community or the life events that have shaped them in general. Megan Finnerty is the creator of the series.


When Molly McCloy was 26, she got her first teaching job at DeVry University. One of the first things she learned about teaching was having to repeat herself five or six times before her students understood the material. One day in class, McCloy was telling her students about their demonstration speeches coming up.

Molly McCloy teaches at Pima Community College.

Join Arizona Storytellers for their next night of live storytelling on Oct. 26, 2015, at Skyline, the Rooftop Patio at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel.
