Since finishing her undergraduate degree, Maddie has worked for a variety of state and federal agencies. She is currently a Boone and Crockett fellow pursuing a M.S. degree at the University of Montana. Her research focuses on fine-scale resource selection of pronghorn as part of a larger Montana Pronghorn Project.
