A lover of sports since she was a child, she took a journalism course in college and never looked back.
Dolan told Play Pennsylvania: "When I was in college everyone said to pursue the news as well as sports and make a reel for both. I was like ‘No, I’m not doing that.’
"I remember professors being really mad about it but I don’t ever want to brand myself as someone that does the complete opposite of what she loves."
Dolan moved into the sports betting market after the practice became legal outside of Nevada.
