About Me! 

BELLO! My name is Madi, and I’m a lifelong dancer, singer, and performer! I’m currently a second-year BFA Musical Theatre student at the University of Florida’s School of Theatre and Dance, and getting to spend my days doing what I love is truly a dream come true. My dream role is Anya in Anastasia, and my favorite role I’ve played so far is Jo March in Little Women. Theatre has always been a huge part of my life, and I’m so excited to keep learning, creating, and working toward a career in the arts!

I also serve as Miss Ocala 2026 within the Miss America Organization! My stepmom’s experience in the organization encouraged me to get involved, and it’s become such a meaningful part of my life. My Community Service Initiative, Ignite the Arts Initiative, focuses on youth involvement in the arts and the importance of arts education, particularly in building confidence. You can find more about my initiative and my year as Miss Ocala in the Pageantry section!

Mental health advocacy is also close to my heart because of my own experiences and those of people I love. Being open about those conversations and helping others feel supported is something I care deeply about.

Outside of performing, I love all things Disney and have fully accepted that, at 19, I’m officially a Disney adult. I’m also 5’2”, affectionately known by my friends as “three apples tall,”. Above all, I try to bring joy wherever I go, whether that means making someone laugh, cheering them on, or simply being there. A little kindness and a sense of humor go a long way, and I hope you find a bit of both here and take it with you to spread to others!
