Maddy rejoined NYU as an Adjunct Instructor in 2021. She is a full-time researcher at Ogilvy, supporting research efforts across the organization’s PR, advertising, and strategy practices for a wide range of clients, including in technology, B2B, financial services, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, retail, CPG, and more. Principally a primary researcher, her work includes custom studies like surveys, interviews, online focus groups, quantitative data analysis, qualitative coding, reporting, and beyond. She gets her kicks collaborating with non-researchers to optimize study designs and ask the right questions.

She also served as an AmeriCorps VISTA at Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis in a program evaluation position. In these roles, she focused on applied research in support of safety, equity, and inclusion in K-12 education.
