Maddie earned her undergraduate degree from East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in Early Childhood Education with a minor in communicative disorders. She went on to earn her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from ETSU as well.

During grad school, she was fortunate to be the peer mentor for first-year SLP students in ETSU’s Positive Eating Program. That expereience provided her with an entire year of learning about sensory feeding disorders and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). She looks forward to growing her knowledge of feeding therapy at PAT.

In her free time, Maddie enjoys playing with her pup and collecting a disturbing amount of house plants.
