Madeline is the Advocacy and Outreach Director, overseeing strategic communications and training, and is a key member of The Advocates' domestic policy team. She ensures communications across a range of platforms reflect human rights advocacy goals and highlight the impact of The Advocates' programmatic work.

In addition, Madeline is one of the Advocates' experts on labor trafficking and exploitation. She has developed protocols for law enforcement and for community organizations to identify and respond to labor trafficking, conducted fact-finding on labor trafficking in Minnesota, and trained government officials, labor organizations, service providers, and law enforcement officials on labor trafficking.

Her previous work with The Advocates focused on immigrant rights in Minnesota, included researching and writing a report on immigrant rights in Minnesota, building on several years of organizing and managing partnerships with community organizations through Minnesota to combat anti-immigrant bias. As part of her work on immigrant rights, Madeline also collaborated with local governments and community organizations to conduct local-level immigrant integration initiatives. In addition to her work on immigrant rights, Madeline conducted trainings and created educational materials on human rights for the general public, social justice professionals, educators, and K-12 students. As part of her educational work, she co-wrote both a curriculum on immigration and human rights for use in high schools and a training manual on using human rights in social justice work.

Prior to working at The Advocates, she held positions at a variety of nonprofits, including Freedom House in Washington D.C., International Relief Teams, Human Rights Education Associates, and PACT Bolivia. Madeline graduated from The Fletcher School at Tufts University with a MALD and received her BA from Harvard University.
