For her doctoral project, she aims to conduct a needs assessment of rural LGBTQ+ health in Canada by engaging providers and community members. Madison is fluent in English, French, and Italian, and likes to watch and sing along to dubbed Disney movies to keep up her comprehension!

Madison is a lover of fine arts and sings, arranges harmonies, and writes fiction in her spare time. She is also a member of a sword fighting club.
