After graduating from LVC's physical therapy program in 2013, she lived in the Harrisburg area for a few years before relocating in 2018 to sunny Charleston, S.C. where she currently resides with her five-year old daughter, June, her fiancé, Jake and her dog, Frank. Malizzia worked for Select Physical Therapy for the past 10 years as a Physical Therapist and currently is a Multi-Site Center Manager where she gets to help people overcome pain and other obstacles so that they can return to doing what they love. While she hasn't continued playing softball competitively, she has been lucky enough to be able to help and watch her daughter play T-ball for the first time this year. Malizzia loves traveling, being active and spending time at the beach with her family.
