“Ive always had a burning in my heart for cooking,” said Malloy. “I enjoying mixing and adding ingredient to see a beautiful finished product. I especially enjoy cooking and baking for friends and family.”

As Malloy grew up on the water and in the kitchen, she grew a love for craftsmanship. She uses this skill in a marine tournament she competes in every year. During the tournament, she and her team are required to build a boat out of plywood, marine caulking, and zip-ties. The team then has to race the boat in a tournament against well trained competitive marine athletes. The widely known tournament can offer multiple scholarships for competitors, which Malloy is determined to receive.
