Madeline is currently a student at Western Kentucky University studying to get her Bachelor of Arts in Photojournalism and a minor in Digital Advertising. The Student-Athlete on the Cross Country/Track and Field team has learned the tough skills of managing her time, from telling stories through her camera to running circles around a track.

The Louisville, Ky. native arrived to Bowling Green freshmen year with no prior photography knowledge other than a strong passion for the art. Since joining the photojournalism program at WKU, the quick learner has grown in her technique and people skills.

Her eagerness to get involved is a direct result of her motivation to learn. From her time since joining WKU, she volunteers as a Labbie for the WKU Photojournalism lab, she was a 2022 Mountain Workshop Labbie and also helped for a short time as a student gallery assistant.

From a girl raised in Louisville who just found it enjoyable to take pictures, to a 3rd-year photojournalism student with more knowledge than she can think of, Powell has come a long way. She is expected to graduate in spring 2025 and is excited to see where the field of visual journalism and photography takes her.
