Starting a new chapter…
Maddy has more than a decade of experience as a writer and photographer, and has won numerous regional awards for her journalism. She has worked with the Associated Press, Grist, NPR, Popular Science and many local and regional publications while reporting from Delaware on the environment, climate change, courts, business and much more.
Before launching her freelance career at the end of 2021, she briefly worked as a part-time writer for the University of Delaware’s College of Engineering and as a communications specialist for the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays. Prior to that, she reported for the USA Today Network’s Delaware Online/The News Journal as an environmental journalist based in southern Delaware. She is thrilled to be open to freelance assignments at the local, regional and national levels.
Maddy is an active member of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Society of Environmental Journalists. She graduated with a dual degree in English and journalism from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, where fries on sandwiches truly made her feel right at home.
She grew up on the East Coast and now lives in Dover, Delaware, with her husband, Scott, their young daughter and far too many pets. In her free time, she enjoys riding horses, birding and falling out of her kayak.
