Marilee Gallagher is a sportswriter here at Bleacher Report and has been writing with the site since October of 2011. Currently she is a Featured Columnist for the Philadelphia Phillies and has worked on site-wide coverage teams for the 2012 Olympics and 2012 Australian and U.S Open (Tennis).

In addition to her work at B/R, Marilee is the Sports Editor for her college newspaper. As a member of the staff of The Griffin at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA, she has had the opportunity to interview players and coaches on a daily basis. She also had a chance to represent her school as a student reporter for the Philadelphia Wings lacrosse team.

Born and raised in a suburb outside of Philadelphia, Marilee is a fan of all things Philly sports. On top of that she also thoroughly enjoys watching and playing tennis as well as tuning in to the Olympics both summer and winter, every four years.

Marilee's career goal is to one day be a broadcast journalist for ESPN or NBC. Until then, she continues to strive to put forth her best work as a representative member of this insightful and driven team of writers for B/R and is happy to work with and write for such a great organization.
