Madeleine is a passionate educator, a devoted mom, and an explorer at heart. After more than a decade of classroom teaching and three years sailing the Pacific Ocean with her husband and two kiddos, she’s thrilled to be putting down roots in Montana and joining Friends of the Children in the role of Family Engagement Specialist (Missoula).

Madeleine believes that relationship-building is at the core of all positive change and looks forward to developing lasting connections with caregivers and families. In her spare time, she loves hiking and camping, walking her dog, Benny, and modern dancing.
