Dr. Madding grew up in Burlingame, CA. She attended Middlebury College where she majored in Environmental Studies, Sociology, and Anthropology, minored in global health, and played Varsity soccer. After graduating, she worked as a medical assistant in an OB/GYN office and fell in love with prenatal and postpartum care. She moved to Philadelphia to complete a post-bacc program at the University of Pennsylvania and then attended Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. As a medical student, she spent a summer doing clinical rotations in Medellín, Colombia, and worked as a volunteer Spanish interpreter at Puentes de Salud, a non-profit that provides free healthcare services to underserved populations. She was very involved in curriculum development and is passionate about medical student and resident education. In her fourth year she developed an appreciation for clinical research and studied the impact of COVID-19 on the care of patients with gynecologic malignancies. She is thrilled to be completing her residency at OHSU and enjoys exploring the outdoors.
