Maddie (she/her) is a 15-year-old with a big heart and a contagious laugh. She is fascinated by the entire photography industry, whether in front of or behind the camera. Maddie enjoys music and watching movies. She considers herself an animal-lover and especially adores her dogs Belle and Oakley. In 7th grade, Maddie fell in love with cheerleading and the energy around it, and she hasn’t looked back.
As an advocate, Maddie feels empowered by sharing her story and helping others. It’s been especially important to her to advocate for transgender youth in sports because of her experience in cheerleading. She believes every kid should get to experience the joy she finds in being a part of a team and doing something she loves.
Her hope is to help people understand that transgender kids are just like other kids and to create a world where all trans and nonbinary youth are treated equally and with kindness.
