Madeline is originally from Lebanon, Tennessee and is a recent alum of Maryville College with a major in Environmental Science (BS) with focuses in Sustainability Studies and Outdoor Studies and Tourism. Although she loves all ecosystems for what they offer, Madeline has a strong fascination for wetlands and has spent extensive time researching their functionality, performing the AIM protocol through Idaho, and sharing this love with others. In her free time, she loves trail running through the forest, spending time with her dog, King, backpacking, paddling, and botanizing. She is excited to be a part of the Riverlink team through AmeriCorps Conserving Caroline to promote enhancement of a watershed she has come to know and love over the years.
