Maddy is a first-year doctoral student in Sociology. After studying Economics at Princeton, she worked as a management consultant for Oliver Wyman, Financial Services. She then joined Mathematica Policy Research, where she used both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze social issues and programs related to education, early childhood, and international development. Her main projects included a descriptive analysis of how youth with disabilities transition into adulthood (for the Department of Education), a qualitative analysis of the informal child care landscape in California (for the Packard Foundation), and an impact evaluation of an irrigation infrastructure program in rural Armenia (for the Millennium Challenge Corporation). At Stanford, she hopes to use quantitative methods to study poverty, inequality, demography, and/or social networks.
