We are proud to welcome Mallory Hiefield, the interim assistant athletic director and senior woman administrator at Pacific University, as the newest member of the Rotary Club of Forest Grove.

Hiefield was inducted in a ceremony during the club’s weekly meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 30. She was sponsored for induction by Andrea Stewart.

Hiefield was born in Forest Grove and raised in the Bethany area. A graduate of Westview High School, Hiefield matriculated to Pacific University, where she competed in both cross country and lacrosse. She graduated from Pacific with a degree in biology in 2017.

After beginning her professional career in the health care field, working in the dermatology surgery department at OHSU, Hiefield returned to Pacific and served as the university’s director of intramurals and recreation before moving to her current position in August 2024. Hiefield is also a past president of Pacific University’s Staff Senate.

An accomplished fitness instructor and outdoor adventurer, Hiefield successfully hiked the entire 2,650-mile length of the Pacific Coast Trail, from Mexico to Canada, by herself at the age of 23. Last spring, Hiefield was invited by Les Mills International, a worldwide fitness company, to spend three months in New Zealand exploring the country and promoting fitness. She was among a group selected from 20,000 worldwide applicants to make the trip.

We are proud to welcome Mallory Hiefield to the Rotary Club of Forest Grove and we look forward to joining her in Service Above Self.
