Maddie Foster

Occupational Therapy Assistant

Part of the Emerge Family since 2026
Maddie was born in Dallas, Texas but has lived in Wisconsin for most of my life. She received my Bachelors from the University of Wisconsin- Madison in Health Promotion and Health Equity. During undergrad, Maddie volunteered in the adaptive fitness program which promoted fitness for adults and children with disabilities. This influenced her pursuit of a career as an Occupational Therapy Assistant. During her program, Maddie gained more experience specifically in the pediatric mental health setting and school setting. She recently moved to Raleigh in 2025 and has enjoyed the sunshine and warmer weather!
 
 
Some of Maddie’s favorite occupations outside of work include traveling, watching movies, going for walks, and going to concerts.
