While in Dallas, she served as Head of School for six years at The Fulton School which was named for her father and continues to serve on the Fulton Board. Molly now serves as Director of The Eugene McDermott Scholars Program at the University of Texas at Dallas.Since returning to Dallas, she has been an active member of the Greenhill community, volunteering while her son attended the school and serving on the Board of Trustees for seven years.
