Campus Cutie: Madeleine Riddle

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pepperdine chapter.

Name: Madeleine Riddle

Age: 18

Year: Freshman

Major: Theatre Arts with an Acting Emphasis

Hometown: Ventura, CA

Favorite food at the HAWC: penne alfredo with chicken or sausage

Favorite class at Pepperdine: Acting I: Intro to Acting with Professor Andi Chapman

Favorite thing about Pepperdine: I don’t really know what my favorite thing about Pepperdine is. I just love the whole school and campus.

What is something that no one knows about you? (You can pick one of these): I am a fraternal twin; my brother, Matthew (18 years)is older by one minute, and is at Ventura Community College.

I danced ballet for 15 years, 7 of those years en pointe. I had many leading roles, and it’s thanks to ballet that I began to pursue a degree in the Theatre Arts.

I also play the piano. I’ve been playing for 13 years, and my favorites include Slaughter on Tenth Avenue by Richard Rodgers, and River Flows in You by Yiruma.

Favorite place to travel: I haven’t really traveled, but I always enjoy traveling to Coronado Island in San Diego.

Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?: I am hoping to be acting or directing. But, in 10 years from now, I’m not all certain what my future will be. I’m hoping that I will be happy and content, and with my family.
