Molly graduated with an Honors Baccalaureate in Food Science enology & viticulture concentration and a Minor in Chemistry from Oregon State University in Corvallis Oregon. She wanted to be in the wine industry ever since seeing beautiful scenes of vineyards in movies. She graduated with an MBA from Washington State University in Pullman Washington. She started her career post-graduation with a marketing and QA internship at a family run dairy farm in Oregon, followed by a cellar internship at The Hogue Cellars in Prosser WA.

She worked full time in the cellar at Hogue before jetting off to New Zealand for a harvest. After another few harvests at Hogue, she jumped down to California and landed as a Winemaker for The Prisoner Wine Company.

Her favorite things about winemaking are the magic in the air during harvest , all the hard work, all the aromas, and all the collaboration.
