Learning extends beyond the classroom, and student employment plays an important role in that journey. Through hands-on experience and mentorship, HRS student employees have opportunities to explore career interests, develop professional skills, and contribute to meaningful work.
This month, we’re pleased to introduce Madison Maielua.
Madison is a freshman majoring in English with a minor in teacher preparation and plans to pursue a career as a high school English teacher. As a member of the Honors College, she has already enjoyed exploring new ideas and opportunities through her coursework.
Originally from Christmas Valley, Oregon, Madison comes from a close-knit community where her graduating class consisted of just 24 students. She enjoys reading and writing and is excited to turn those lifelong interests into a future career in education.
Before coming to WSU, Madison held several leadership roles and gained hands-on experience teaching elementary students. Those experiences helped develop her confidence, adaptability, and enthusiasm for supporting others through learning.
When she’s not studying, Madison enjoys spending time with her family, including her parents, sister, younger brother, and their collection of furry family members.
We’re excited to have Madison on the team and look forward to the contributions she’ll make during her time with Human Resource Services. Be sure to watch for future spotlights as we continue introducing the students contributing to projects across HRS.
