Maddie

Maddie (she/her) is a 17-year-old with a big heart and a contagious laugh. She is fascinated by the entire nursing field. Maddie enjoys music and watching movies. She considers herself an animal lover and especially adores her dog, Belle. In seventh grade, Maddie fell in love with cheerleading and the energy it brings, and she hasn’t looked back. 

As an advocate, Maddie feels empowered by sharing her story and helping others. Her experience in cheerleading has made it especially important for her to advocate for transgender youth in sports. She believes every kid should get to experience the joy she finds in being part of a team and doing something she loves.

Maddie hopes to help people understand that transgender kids are just like other kids and to create a world where all transgender and nonbinary youth are treated equally and with kindness.
