Maddy joined LCSA in mid-2022 to work on areas of social policy and research, and to spearhead LCSA’s advocacy work in the lead up to the NSW state election in 2023. She has a double Bachelor’s degree in Arts, with majors in Communication and International Studies from the University of Technology, Sydney.
Maddy began her career in communications, advocacy and community organising in various political offices. She then moved into policy and analysis work at the Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation at the NSW Department of Education for the next four years.
Throughout her career, Maddy has always framed her work through the lens of advancing fairness and alleviating systemic disadvantage. She is enthusiastic about joining the social services sector and wants to improve conditions for our members, primarily through advocating for core funding for all Neighbourhood and Community Centres in NSW.
Maddy enjoys working collaboratively with the LCSA membership to advance the aspirations they have for their centres and for their communities.
