Madalyn grew up in Alma, Nebraska then attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She graduated with a degree in Elementary Education, and student taught at Hamlow elementary in Waverly. During her time in college, she was an assistant coach for the Pius X High School volleyball program.
Her love for teaching began back in high school when she would help in her sister Jenna Christensen’s classroom, and now she is so excited to be back in the same school where her passion for teaching first began!
Madalyn is looking forward to being a part of the school that gave her so much during her high school career. The energetic and supportive community has a major role for her to be back. She is thrilled to add volleyball and basketball into her first year! Her goal is for the girls, the community, and herself to bring an energetic attitude every time they step onto the court.
As she has said for 22 years now, Go Big Red!! ❤️ Welcome back to the Cardinal family, Madalyn! #ProudToBeACardinal
