Maria Molina likes to see the power of Mother Nature. She loves storms and is very passionate about science, education and communication. His interest in weather as a meteorologist dates back to his early days in South Florida.
Molina was only 5 years old when Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 Atlantic hurricane hit the state of Florida. Hurricane Andrew is considered the most destructive to hit the state and the 1992 event scared Molina but ultimately laid the foundation for her passion for nature and career choice.
Maria Molina would later confirm this when she quit her job as an on-air meteorologist for Fox News Channel in New York to earn a doctorate from the Earth and Ecosystem Science Program at Central Michigan University.
“I was completely terrified of the storm… It was one of the hardest experiences I’ve had. It was a very scary storm in terms of the wind, and it really showed me the power of Mother Nature… I also wanted to learn more about storms, and it led me down the path of meteorology and science. (Also) I…wanted to communicate the dangers of storms and that led me to a path in the media as well,” she revealed.
Maria Molina believes education will help her understand the power behind storms and how to better predict them. That’s why she decided to get a doctorate in the field.
