As part of the program, she got the opportunity to train at the world-renowned dance studios Millennium Dance Complex and Debbie Reynold’s in Los Angeles for 3 months. In January 2016, Molly relocated to New York City to pursue advanced dance studies at Broadway Dance Center through the International Student Visa Program, with ballet as her concentration, and graduated in October 2019 after almost 4 years of full-time studies.

Molly is an internationally acclaimed dancer celebrated for her versatility and dynamic performances across various Latin dance styles. Her career highlights include starring in the music video for "Yo Me Lo Busqué" by Latin music icons Thalía and Los Ángeles Azules, which garnered over 5.8 million views in three weeks. This role significantly elevated her international profile, placing her alongside two of the most influential figures in Latin entertainment.

In 2024, Molly performed with world-renowned salsa artist Yiyo Sarante at high-profile concerts in New York and New Jersey, including shows at the historic Ritz Theatre and the iconic United Palace. She also graced the stage at the United Palace as part of Teodoro Reyes' 35th-anniversary celebration, sharing the spotlight with Latin music legends such as Sergio Vargas and Fefita La Grande.

Molly's talent has been showcased at prestigious events like the New York International Salsa Congress and the New York BIG Salsa Festival, where she performed and taught workshops, solidifying her role as both a performer and educator. She has also performed at the legendary Copacabana in New York City, adding to her growing influence as a professional dancer.

Molly's versatility extends to television, with an appearance on The Art of Fashion TV, where she discussed her career and the cultural significance of salsa. She has also been featured in music videos for artists such as Chris & Lenny, Papcy the Don, Doug Beavers, and Conjunto Imagen.

Earlier in her career, Molly won the finale of "This Is Talent" (Talang) in Sweden and performed at numerous prestigious salsa congresses and festivals across Europe with the Bellasitas team from Malmö Dance Academy, Scandinavia's most decorated Latin dance team. Her performances with Grupo Niche and La India at the International Salsa Festival further underscore her exceptional talent and recognition in the world of Latin dance.
