Madison’s journey with Persad began with a fellowship through the University of Pittsburgh's Elsie Hillman Honors Scholar program. During this time, she was tasked with developing a comprehensive outreach plan for the agency which eventually led to her joining the team in 2024. Originally from Rochester, NY, Madison earned a B.A. in Legal Studies and Poetry from the University of Pittsburgh. In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, and taking walks.
