MEET MADDIE

After graduating from Michigan State University, I knew I wanted to move back to Northern Michigan and that I wanted to live in an area that would provide a multitude of opportunities. I wanted the perfect balance of social life, outdoor recreation, and unique businesses to explore. Traverse City, MI checked all of those boxes and welcomed me in 2017. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for over 3 years.

I have the pleasure of enjoying all of the lakes, rivers, and hiking trails as well as indulging in downtown Traverse City’s food and drink businesses. It is a luxury to live this close to all of these experiences.

Living in TC has connected me with so many different organizations, movements, and community builders that I truly feel a part of this region’s initiatives. I’m excited to see how the area can continue to grow and welcome people from all backgrounds who will transform our region into the best version it can be.
