Maddie is passionate about pursuing excellence in creating compelling sports narratives through her camera. Her dedication to capturing the game is not just a profession but a lifelong pursuit that developed from many years of watching her three older brothers compete in sports.
ABOUT
In 2023, Maddie graduated from California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and a Minor in Photography. While pursuing her degree, she presided as the team photographer for Cal Poly Baseball, overseeing all photo needs and social media content. She photographed Division I sports across campus for Cal Poly Athletics and the student-run publication Mustang News on assignment to capture the moments that best told the stories of the athletes. The Cal Poly Journalism Department recognized Maddie's work, awarding her "Photojournalist of the Year."
After graduating, she became one of the 2024 Photography Interns for the San Francisco Giants. In her role, Maddie contributed to the team's visual storytelling by photographing pre-game ceremonies, game action, ballpark atmosphere, fan photos, and special events at Oracle Park. She also supported the photo team outside of gameday, covering community outreach and events across the Bay Area.
Maddie is an optimistic professional who brings a unique perspective to the sports world as both a woman and a little person diagnosed with achondroplasia. She hopes her work in sports photography contributes to breaking down barriers and inspires others to pursue their goals regardless of their challenges.
