Review Editor


Madison's bachelor's degree in Philosophy did not, in fact, help with the development of her life philosophy: play outside often. That came from her love of movement, which she developed at an early age as a gymnast who didn't sit still. Eventually, she transitioned from spending her time throwing flips in the chalky gym to running around in the hills of her hometown. After living in the wheat fields of Walla Walla, Madison moved back to Western Montana and where she spends her time finding new ways to play outside. Recently she picked up river surfing to bridge the shoulder season between uphill skiing and mountain running. After a long day outside, Madison can be found eating copious amounts of chocolate or leading the charge to the dance floor.
