Hi, I’m Madison, a communications leader with over a decade of experience across nonprofits, government, and mission-driven tech. From shaping narratives on Capitol Hill to leading marketing teams at national advocacy organizations, I love turning big ideas into content that inspires people to take action. I have a degree in journalism and a master’s in public affairs, and a deep belief in the power of storytelling to create change.
Recently
At FOLX Health, I oversaw media relations, executive communications, and rapid response to policy developments. My role concluded in July following organization-wide layoffs tied to challenges in the current climate around LGBTQ+ care.
Previously at GLSEN, I led a communications team of five and two external agencies, overseeing all aspects of content, public relations, digital media, and executive communications to advance safe and inclusive education for LGBTQ+ youth nationwide. This included writing speeches and preparing the Executive Director for major media appearances and events, producing reports for the Department of Education, and delivering inclusive book sets to more than 8,100 schools in 33 states, reaching over 6.3 million students.
Before leading LGBTQ+ advocacy, I served as Digital Director on Capitol Hill, helping shape national narratives around racial justice, policing reform, and mental health.
A bit more about me
Before policy and advocacy work, I led marketing and content for tech startups and agencies. During that time, I oversaw public relations campaigns that secured coverage in outlets including NPR, Forbes, and Wired. As a content strategist, I developed a partnership that featured New York Times placements and sponsored content, driving 4.7 million site visits and generating over $1 million in sales for RetailMeNot.​
Outside of work, I enjoy riding my bike, writing fiction, cooking with friends, and taking on too many house projects.
