LET'S GET PERSONAL

When Madison isn’t at the office, she is usually in the throws of parenting, spending time laughing with her family – her husband and three kids. Aligning with her value of self-care, she strives (imperfectly) to include physical activity into most of her days, either through recreational sports or by listening to a podcast on a long run. She also has hobbies include baking, gardening and knitting. Madison also recently joined a book club!
