Maddie was born in Louisville, KY, but moved to Fort Wayne at age 3. She attended Canterbury School and graduated from Garrett High School in 2019. Growing up, she played the violin and sang with The Fort Wayne Children’s Choir. By middle school, ballet became her primary focus. She completed the training program at Fort Wayne Ballet and joined Texas Ballet Theater’s company upon graduation.

Covid brought Maddie back home where she started dancing professionally with Fort Wayne Ballet. She began teaching in their dance academy and completed all the levels of certification through American Ballet Theater. One of her favorite classes to teach each week was at Gigi’s Playhouse. Having decided to focus on teaching, Maddie now teaches ballet at K. Monique’s Studio of Dance, as well as private lessons and coaching with her former students. She recently expanded into the fitness industry and became a boxing coach at Triumph Studios.

Maddie loves being around her family and friends, going to concerts, working out, and shopping. She loves all things dairy, especially cheese! In her spare time, you can find her snuggling with her cats Angelo and Parmesan, baking delicious treats, trying new restaurants, and watching her guilty pleasure TV show - “Wipeout”. She is looking forward to following in both of her parent’s footsteps by dancing in this year’s fundraiser!
