Maddie Spicer is a staff writer and executive member at the Her Campus Chapter at the University of Colorado at Boulder. As she joined in August 2023, her duties include researching and writing articles and features. Now, a part of the social team, she creates content for college students akin to herself.
At CU, she is a third-year majoring in Journalism with minors in Creative Writing and Cinema Studies. She initiated her writing career in high school as a team writer for her school newspaper, The Yahoo!. In the two years she wrote for the paper, Maddie advanced from an entry-level writer to the Assistant Editor and public relations manager. In 2022, she was an attendant at the Washington Journalism and Media Conference (WJMC) hosted at George Mason University. During this week-long program, she met students, faculty, and speakers from all over the United States, and Maddie recognized her fondness for journalism.
Outside of school, Maddie is a relentless shopper and a self-titled fashion critic. She has established harmony between her passion for fashion and journalism through her articles: "Style, Spice, and Everything Nice." Her interests in cinema and production recently allowed her the opportunity to work in her college’s equipment checkout center, The Armory Vault. She describes her role — in layman’s terms — as “a librarian for technology.” Maddie believes Megan Thee Stallion and Addison Rae are her best friends and always has them on repeat. As an avid concert-goer, she devotes most of her finances to purchasing tickets of some variety. When Maddie is nowhere to be found, she is hanging out with her friends, eating cheese (or chocolate chips), watching BoJack Horseman, or a strange yet typical combination of all three.
