Mallory experienced a powerful conversion of heart in college when she came to know God personally through Scripture.

Mallory has spoken around the nation including conferences such as SEEK and FOCUS Greek conferences. She has been a guest on EWTN's "Life on the Rock," The Catholic Feminist, Ave Explores, and a number of other podcasts and radio shows. Her book Rekindled won second place in the faith category for the Catholic Media Association Book awards.
