I’m Coach Madi, and I started in both gymnastics and dance at VEGA around the age of 5. My serious gymnastics journey began in the Stars class where I then moved to JAG and then onto the Developmental Program formally known as the Junior Olympic Program. Currently, I am is a level nine gymnast with two years of eligibility left in the program.

For the past two summers, I’ve been coaching rec and team classes, as well as working as a camp counselor. I love working with kids and seeing their excitement when they learn a new skill and celebrating it with them. I truly enjoy having a connection with younger gymnasts in the gym and seeing their skills and personalities develop.

Outside the gym, you can find me playing the trumpet in the Camas HS marching band, working on research projects in the math, science, technology program, playing the piano, or spending time with my sister.
