Mallory has working with youth for over 15 years and before receiving her Master’s of Art in Teaching, she had always been drawn to opportunities to interact with children and youth. Her career path has led her to working in daycares and summer camps, designing curriculum and events as a program manager with the Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania, and teaching theater and language arts as an international teacher in Mexico and Costa Rica. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to work as an in-school Reading Specialist, ensuring Philadelphia students are set up to be as big of a bookworm as she is!
