Maddie Cortez, Staff Writer
Maddie is a third-year student studying Communications, and this is her second semester writing for The Paisano. After changing her major from architecture, she had a turning point where she discovered that the sky was the limit. Writing in the sports section for The Paisano was not something believed to be in her realm. Previously insecure about her writing, she now looks forward to practicing her creative flow when developing articles. In addition, she was accepted into an internship program that pairs students with a start-up company for the summer. Outside of her academic life, Maddie enjoys spending quality time with her friends and family, exploring new eateries, listening to music of all genres and decades, and spoiling her fur baby, Frankie.
