Maddy grew up in the sunny hills of California, where she cultivated a love for photography, music, community, and God’s presence. She attended bible college at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, where she studied worship arts. In 2018, Maddy “accidentally” moved to Wisconsin when a summer visit with relatives planting a new Anglican community (Christ Church Madison) became a permanent move. Maddy transferred to UW-Madison and graduated in 2021 with a major in legal studies. She worked as a communications director for three years in the Wisconsin Legislature before joining the Stephen and Laurel Brown Foundation team.

In her spare time, you can catch Maddy delighting in her nephews, photographing weddings, facilitating cross-church community in Madison, and buying snacks at Trader Joe’s.
