After graduating from Penn State University, Garafolo utilized her marketing degree in the offices of the New York Jets and Wilmington Blue Rocks before transitioning to the hardwood.

In November of 2020, the Havertown, Pa. native became the head junior varsity and assistant varsity girls basketball coach for Cardinal O'Hara High School. Completing her fourth season in 2023-2024, Garafolo was in charge of scouting evaluations of opposing teams, among many other key tasks within the Cardinal O'Hara basketball program.
