Molly attends the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine where she is earning her Doctorate degree of Osteopathic Medicine. She has been a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician with the Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad (LVRS) since December of 2016. This past summer, she had the opportunity to work for an organization called Orphan Voice. Orphan Voice is a Christian, holistic child development ministry that provides for the needs of “the least of these” in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. During her time at Orphan Voice, Molly hosted two, three-hour seminars where she covered simple osteopathic techniques and home stretches to relieve the every-day back pain caused by Cerebral Palsy.
When she was fifteen, Molly’s mother underwent Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. More than just treating her tremors, the teams of physicians helped give Molly’s mother her smile back. It was then that Molly realized that she desired to become an agent of change in the lives of families and medicine was the only road to take.
