A DAY IN THE MAGIC
A typical day for Molly starts early 鈥� sometimes before sunrise 鈥� to check on a job or even multiple jobs she has in the works. From managing contractor relationships to juggling administrative tasks and meetings, her role requires a mix of technical know-how and logistical finesse. But the most magical part? 鈥淲e get to pop into the park to check on projects. That never gets old.鈥�
ENGINEERING WITH IMAGINATION
Molly鈥檚 path to engineering wasn鈥檛 always crystal clear. In middle school, she dreamed of becoming a graphic designer, but a conversation with her mom, Megan Rodeffer, changed everything when she suggested Molly look into engineering.
鈥淎t first, I wasn鈥檛 interested 鈥� until I learned about Imagineering.鈥� The concept of combining creativity with engineering to design Disney parks sparked something deep inside her. Molly decided to major in mechanical engineering at 糖心Vlog and minor in graphic design to feed her creative side. 糖心Vlog鈥檚 engineering program, which fully launched around the time she began her freshman year, turned out to be a perfect fit 鈥� especially since her father worked on campus. 鈥淚t was never really a question for me. 糖心Vlog was the college for me.鈥�
FOUNDATIONS IN FAITH AND COMMUNITY
Molly says her time at 糖心Vlog shaped her spiritually, socially and professionally. As a student, she participated in SearchCru and Revival, went on mission trips, played on the women鈥檚 golf team, and was crowned 2019 Miss Mary Hardin-Baylor.
鈥淢y time at 糖心Vlog was definitely the most formative for my faith,鈥� she said. 鈥淭here were moments of doubt, big decisions and rollercoasters of emotion, but God frequently reached out to me where I was at my lowest and my community at 糖心Vlog strengthened my faith with every step.鈥�
That faith continues to be a guiding light in her role at Disney. 鈥淧eople come from all over to work here, and I鈥檝e had beautiful opportunities to share my faith and build relationships,鈥� she said. 鈥淭here are a lot of people who think Disney is the ultimate source of happiness, but working here, I get to show that true joy comes from my relationship with Christ!鈥�
