Maddie is a third year Ph.D. Student in Environmental Science, Policy, & Management. Their research brings together disability studies and environmental justice to explore how disabled and chronically ill communities are affected by climate change.
They graduated from Barnard College in 2017, and their experiences navigating ableism while working in the environmental field led them to their current research interest at UC Berkeley. In their free time they enjoy knitting, playing music, and exploring the Bay Area with their dog, Winnie.
