At just six years old, she showcased her skills on television during the LMA's World Livestock Auctioneer Championship, solidifying her lifelong dream of becoming an auctioneer.

Madison is a certified Benefit Auction Specialist (BAS), a designation awarded by the National Auction Association. This certification enhances her ability to drive higher bids, secure valuable donations, and ensure seamless fundraising events.
