Background
Mallory has varied experience in social research spanning evaluation, native title, public health and social policy. While she has worked across a range of fields and content areas, her approach to research and evaluation has always been underpinned by strong conceptual and critical thinking skills, drawing from her experience in both academic and applied environments. At FPC, Mallory manages and contributes to projects predominantly in the areas of cultural wellbeing, social inclusion, mental health, and public health and health promotion. In 2023, Mallory was the recipient of the Australian Evaluation Society's Emerging New Talent Award, recognising her contributions to evaluation practice and theory to date.

Mallory also occasionally works as a research assistant at the University of Melbourne (School of Social and Political Sciences), and has contributed to projects including a study assessing the impacts of COVID-19 on digital nomads.
