Molly Jensen, Springwood Hospitality's Vice President, is no stranger to hard work. She has had her nose to the grindstone since she was a young girl working for her father’s business prior to pursuing her college degree at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. After college, Molly worked herself through the ranks in the hotel industry all while maintaining a home with 3 young children - starting at the front desk, then Assistant General Manager, Director of Sales, General Manager and Regional Director of Operations before being promoted into her current VP role with Springwood.
Molly has been instrumental in ensuring our properties maintain award-winning status by achieving outstanding quality assurance audits as well as delivering incredible guest experiences. She was recently honored as one of Central Pennsylvania's Forty Under 40 young executives.
Molly’s involvement in hospitality doesn’t stop at hotel management - Molly is heavily involved with the local community, and opens her home to young professional athletes following their dreams with the local USPHL hockey team.
