Forever a proud Midwestern — and a born-and-raised Cincinnati girl at heart — Maddie moved to Los Angeles in 2018. She got her start in Public Relations in the entertainment sector and quickly fell in love with its energy and collaborative culture. Five years later, she proudly sees herself as a well-versed industry expert and full-fledged Angeleno who revels in the city’s vibrant blend of pop culture and culinary diversity. She enjoys soaking up all the extra dirty martinis, beach oyster roasts, and underground Omakase experiences the city has to offer.

Ahead of joining the af&co. team, Maddie was busy building buzz for brands and thought-leaders within the beauty, interior design, wellness, consumer packaged goods (CPG), food and beverage, and spirits spaces. Blending her multifaceted experience in entertainment and lifestyle, with her personal passion for food, she brings a distinctive and playful approach to the hospitality PR sector. She is fueled by her passion for crafting influential narratives for her clients and securing them the next significant media placement that propels them onto the national media stage. Her enthusiasm for strategic communications and natural knack for media relations is evident upon meeting her IRL or over a Zoom call.
