Education: Masters of Education in School Counseling from Seattle Pacific University
How I Got Into Education: Growing up I loved going to school, but was nervous around my teachers and school counselors. I was a student in SPS schools, as well as catholic schools in Seattle. I know how important it is for students education, growth, and safety to feel connected to adults in their school building. I wanted to provide a different experience for students than what I had while in school.
Hobbies: running, hanging out with my daughter, being outside, writing, reading, art, being with family and friends.
Hi, I'm Teacher Maddie! This is my first year as an IA and I'm in love with the work. I've always loved working with kids-- while working on my Master's in Library and Information Science, I completed a directed fieldwork at the Bryant Elementary library and fell in love with education. Now, I'm working on my teaching certification: I would love to work as an elementary librarian, preschool teacher, or elementary teacher. In my free time, I love to read, write, craft, go on city adventures with friends, and play with my kitty!
