Maddie grew up in Barrie and lived in low income housing from birth till the age of 19. She came to know the Lord, when a friend invited her to their youth group at Big Church. She was a young teen and her life has been changed ever since. Following a vision from God and equipped with her BA in Sociology, Maddie launched Kidz Club programming in 2010; a ministry providing hope, help and a haven for children in low income housing. When not working, you can find Maddie spending time with family and friends (usually cracking a few jokes), and riding the biggest roller coasters she can find!
