Maddie earned her Bachelor of Arts from Bennington College, where her studies centered on architecture, sculpture, and philosophy. From there, she contributed to public art projects and assisted in designing and running weddings. Ultimately, she realized that she wanted to pivot into other fields that let her serve people more directly. She then worked as the Program Administrator at AXS Lab, a non-profit which specializes in film, media, and technology focused on advocating for people living with disabilities. In her free time she enjoys reading mysteries, watching reality tv, and trying out new potato recipes.

Maddie supports several alliances at the Broad.
