Years of dance, modeling, and acting training led to Madison pursuing competitions as a means to showcase her talent.

Madison, a Native American and Canadian Métis of Cherokee descent on her Mother's side, she has lived in Calgary for most of her life. As a young child, Madison's creativity was channeled into dance lessons and after several years Madison's mother finally gave in to her daughter's desire to perform upon realization that performing is Madison's true calling, not a whim, and later relocated to Toronto to further Madison's dream. In Toronto she continued with her training and had the opportunity to study dance with well-known choreographer/dancer Chantelle Leonardo, and JaeBlaze. Between the two of them, they have worked with Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed Peas, Nelly, Sean Paul, Rolling Stones, Shaggy, Foxy Brown, Shawn Desman, Vicki Winans, Lil Romeo, Jully Black, Gloria Gaynor and Ja Rule. She also studied with JaeBlaze. In many ways, Madison is a typical teenager, listening to her favourite music artists, and devouring the re-runs of CSI Miami, Corner Gas, Degrassi: The Next Generation, My Name Is Earl, Two and a Half Men...despite the lofty highs and not so typical experiences of winning regional and national pageant crowns, winning dance and modeling awards, studying with elite dancers & choreographers and receiving attention from major media outlets around the world such as Croatian National TV, Canada A.M., Breakfast Television, Global TV, CTV, Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, Lite 96 Radio, AM 770 CHQR Radio, 680 News Radio. Madison's passion and excitement continues to grow with all the opportunities and projects that come her way, yet is quick to point out that pursuing your dreams requires a vision, commitment, and working smart.
