Special Interests
Maddie loves to be outdoors, especially if it involves her pup, Oatis, and a rambunctious dog park. Maddie is a mover and loves to dance, hike, bike with family, or paddle board on the lake. On those rainy Seattle days, she enjoys reading a good book, playing board games with friends, or finding new ways to conjure up messes in the kitchen.
