Ever since she was young, Mawgan has had a passion for golf which led her to be a member of the Women’s Golf Team. As part of the golf team, Mawgan has learned how to manage her time between smashing drivers on the range and studying for the next exam. After volunteering for the Players Championship in 2018 Mawgan realized this is what she wanted a career in. Upon graduation in Spring 2022, she hopes to pursue a career in tournament operations and remain in the golf industry.
