I’m Molly (she/her)! I’m a New York-based actor, originally from sunny San Diego, California. In 2021, I moved to New York City to pursue my BFA in Musical Theater at Pace University, where I will be graduating in May of 2025.
Music has always been the most important part of my life. Thanks to mom’s musical background as a piano teacher and theater lover, Julie Andrews, Judy Garland & Andrea McCardle sang the soundtrack of my childhood. When I was three years old, I started intensive violin lessons (which I continued until I was sixteen), but I found my true passion when I was nine, performing in a youth theatre production of The Sound of Music.
As a Queer, Disabled artist, I am extremely passionate about playing roles that align with my identities. I have had a few opportunities to play some really awesome disabled roles: In 2024, I understudied the role of “Artemis” in the world premiere musical, Through the Sunken Lands, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Since then, I have participated in various developmental workshops, including playing “Lena” in The Other Side (working title) with music by Mark Sonnenblick/book by Keah Brown and Stacey Luftig, and 504: the Musical, with music/lyrics by Mason McDowell and Abbie Goldberg.
Using my artistry to challenge society’s perception of disability is very important to me, however, l am just as passionate about playing human beings whose stories do not mention disability. One of my favorite examples of this was playing “Amalia Balash” in a Queer reimagining of She Loves Me during my sophomore year at Pace University.
My main goal as an artist is to bring bravery, empathy, and joy to every space I work in.
