Maddy is rejoining the Witt community of residence life. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Business Management with a minor in Communication & Digital Mass Media, from Wittenberg University in 2022. Maddy was a resident advisor and a part of Kappa Delta sorority during her undergrad time at Witt. After three years being part of Capital University's Residential and Commuter Life's professional staff, she makes the transition back to Wittenberg. In Maddy's free time, she enjoys reading, running, watching TV and movies, and being with friends and family. She loves the transformative nature of the residential college experience and enjoys watching students become citizens of the world, post-grad. She was drawn back due to Witt’s vision and values of prioritizing the needs of each individual and anticipates living out that mission through her work as Area Coordinator. She is also always down to grab a cup of coffee or chat over lunch.
