Personal

Molly attended Phillips Exeter Academy, where she learned to row. She walked on to Dartmouth‘s open weight rowing team after failing to be recruited. She enjoys cooking, cycling, reading, sculling, cross-country skiing, and erging. Between training sessions, Molly works at Broadridge Financial as a member of their Elite Athlete Program – a partnership with USRowing. She has two older siblings and a pet cockatiel. Molly credits her big dreams and love of sport to her grandparents, and her competitive nature to her sister and father. Her grandfather, Bill Spencer, was a two-time Olympian and longtime coach for team USA in biathlon. Molly won USRowing's Ernestine Bayer Award (Woman of the Year) with partner Michelle Sechser in 2021. It is the only award she has ever won.
