About Maddi
I’m currently pursuing an MA in Broadcast Journalism at the University of Sheffield, where I cover news stories across the South Yorkshire region. I love telling compelling stories and connecting with diverse audiences, whether it's through news coverage or music.
In addition to my studies, I host a monthly music show on Voices Radio London and co-host Saturday Breakfasts on Sheffield's Mondo Radio. Last year, I had was lucky enough to host the breakfast show for Worthy FM on site at Glastonbury Festival, and I’ve also hosted Sofar Sounds for the past four years, which has been a fantastic way to connect with artists and audiences.
My journey in broadcast journalism began in 2018 at Leeds Student Radio and Leeds Student Television while studying Politics at the university. In 2022, I was elected Head of Music at Leeds Student Radio, and I was honoured to win three Student Radio Awards: Best Presenter (Silver), Best Chart Show (Bronze), and Best Specialist Music Programming (Gold).
“Maddi brings great energy, really strong delivery and a professional level of performance. Tonally, bang on target.”— SRA Judging Panel
Outside of broadcasting, I’ve spent two years working in communications and social media at Converse London, where I collaborated on brand partnerships with No Signal and Reprezentz Radio and wrote copy for @Converse_London. Most recently, I worked as a Digital Marketing Executive for No Bounds Festival 2024, where I led the event's organic social strategy.
Outside of work, I’m an avid Leeds United fan and a proud Marmite enthusiast.
