Molly Gleason
Award Year: 2023

Molly is co-teaching English at SMKN 3, Pekanbaru, as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA).

After graduating from Fordham University with a focus on environmental science, Molly’s recent experience involved wildlife research and environmental education for underserved communities in New York City parks. Molly’s enthusiasm for birding led her to Belize, where she conducted migratory songbird research and provided training on bird data collection.

Molly’s connection with Indonesia took root during an eight-week “Biodiversity & Conservation in Indonesia” study abroad program in 2019. The unique environment, culture, and community left a lasting impact. Molly’s Fulbright journey is driven by her desire to continue learning, connecting, and contributing to the community that has inspired her return.
