Molly Branch
Molly Branch began her career at Windward in 1993 as an English teacher and Journalism advisor. Molly transitioned into her current role as Dean of College Counseling in 2001. Born and raised in Pacific Palisades, Molly graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from USC, receiving her B.A. in Journalism and English Literature. Following this, she embarked on a career in entertainment public relations, where she earned an industry PRISM award for her work with a prominent special effects company. Molly's true calling, however, was in education, so she returned to school, earning an M.Ed. and multi-subject and single-subject teaching credentials from her cross-town rival, UCLA. She is a current member of both the Western and National Associations of College Admission Counselors. The mother of two daughters and one son, Molly spends much of her time away from Windward rooting them on at their numerous soccer, lacrosse, baseball and basketball games.
