Madeline grew up in Southern California and attended Ave Maria University in Southwest Florida, where she played on the varsity women’s golf team and earned her degree in Theology and Psychology. Her passion for the pro-life movement began at a young age, sparked by a moment in middle school when her Catholic school chose to skip over Respect Life Week. This decision compelled her to research the realities of abortion, leading her to discover the pro-life movement and the great call to take action.

Madeline went on to lead prayer vigils and peaceful protests outside Planned Parenthood facilities throughout Southern California. While she was often challenged by her peers, such experiences only strengthened her conviction.

In addition, she became deeply involved with a local homeless crisis pregnancy shelter, where she led major events, development efforts, and worked in case management. These opportunities reinforced her belief that we are called not only to speak up, but to act boldly, especially in defense of the most vulnerable.

Madeline now resides in Long Beach, California, and serves as the Northwest Strategic Partnership Advisor. This role is a full-circle moment for her, as she started the first pro-life club at her high school and parish in partnership with Students for Life years ago.
