Biography

Maddie is a Ph.D. student in the Developmental Psychology program at the Institute of Child Development. She is interested in researching the influence of pubertal and stress hormones on structural and functional brain development, and using both neurobiological and neuroimaging methods to explore these changes during adolescence. At the University of Minnesota, she works with Drs. Megan Gunnar and Kathleen Thomas. Maddie received her B.S. in Biology from Creighton University in 2019 and completed a postgraduate research fellowship with Dr. Tony Wilson at the Institute for Human Neuroscience at Boys Town National Research Hospital, studying neurophysiological development using magnetoencephalography (MEG).
