Molly Harrington, Head of Club Marketing

I'm a former collegiate athlete and single mother to my daughter Josephine. Working in women's sports, especially for a league like LOVB, is a dream. I play beach volleyball several times each week and recently launched a jewelry brand called MAMASTE (pronounced like “namaste”) that honors motherhood and gives back to Every Mother Counts for every bracelet sold.

Emily Hartong, Events Senior Manager

Growing up in Southern California, I played volleyball starting in the sixth grade and continued through college at the University of Hawaii, before pursuing a professional volleyball career in Europe and Asia. In addition to my love for the ocean and travel, I launched a small jewelry business in 2018 and now focus on event management with LOVB, where I enjoy hosting gatherings and utilizing my creativity. Being a woman in the sports industry has been empowering, allowing me to give back to a community that has greatly influenced my life.
