Madison joined TNACI as the Natural Resources Specialist in May 2026. Most recently, she worked at UT Chattanooga in the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, was a member of the executive board of the Southern Appalachian Back Country Horsemen (SABCH) and served as a strategic planning advisor for the Southeast Tennessee Young Farmers Coalition (SeTNYF).

Madison’s interest in land and water stewardship stems from her upbringing in the rural Western Coal Field region of Kentucky, being an outdoor recreator, and her experience working on equestrian farms. She is excited to engage with farmers and private landowners at the confluence of agriculture and conservation.
