Sports have always been something Mallory is passionate about. She loves the energy, teamwork, competition, and the way sports bring the community together. Whether she is on the sidelines, out on the field, or on the courts, being around athletes, teams, and families is something she truly enjoys.

Outside of sports, Mallory loves being at the lake with her family, walking the trails while listening to her current audiobooks, or unwinding at home with a good binge-worthy show.
