Ella Madsen

Wisconsin '29

Hey everyone, my name is Ella and I am a freshman at University of Wisconsin - Madison! I am studying Human Development and Family Studies, and hope to double major in Educational Policies. Eventually, I hope to work in administration for daycare centers or elementary schools, such as a principal or resource officer. I began working in childcare when I was 14, and knew immediately that my life goal was to work with children.

I grew up as the youngest of three siblings in La Crosse, WI when I decided I wanted to move to Madison my freshman year of high school. Madison peaked my interest particularly because of the large and lively campus, and friendly atmosphere. The educational opportunities here are endless, and I am grateful to attend a school that provides students such as myself with writing clubs like Her Campus.

I love writing, especially about things that I am passionate about. I really like listening to music and analyzing the songs, specifically from female artists. I relate to singers like Phoebe Bridgers and Gracie Abrams and hope to explore their songs in future articles. Other passions of mine include running, sustainability, and fashion, and I love exploring pop culture.

On Wisconsin!
