During her summer working with Dr. Leondard, she was able to help develop a study on individuals psychophysiological reactions to racial passing, pushing the boundaries of previous research conducted in the field of Political Psychology. Madison keeps herself very busy during the school year, running the school's public health club, playing ultimate frisbee, volunteering with Autistic children, and of course hiking any time she can.
