Hi! I'm Maddie.

​

I love learning about the world, and sharing what I learn through visuals.

​

When I'm not at my desk, you can find me animal-watching on the beach, doodling on the couch, or catching up on my perpetual list of shows that I've been meaning to watch.

​

The natural world is an amazing place, and I'm constantly learning things about it. I also use visual media to share what I learn and help get others in on the excitement!

The more that people understand our planet, the more likely they are to care about it; and the more they care about it, the more likely they are to take action to protect it.

In 2020 I graduated from Duke University where I majored in marine biology and minored in visual media studies. While there I did an undergraduate thesis that involved watching brittle stars run around a tank for hours on end, which helped contribute to our understanding of brittle star learning behavior.

Outside of the lab I also produced an explainer video about a whale tag that won a science journalism award, and did a summer internship with the National Geographic Society's video production department.
