Maddie Gustafson

Hi friends! My name is Maddie and I am from Golden, Colorado. I graduated in May 2024 with a degree in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science and hope to pursue a PhD in Psychology in the near future. Let’s nerd out and talk about anything brain or psychology related! 

In my free time, I love to crochet and knit, and was heartbroken when Joann filed for bankruptcy. I am a Chaco enthusiast and you will catch me wearing them even when there is snow on the ground. I will befriend any dog I meet and kill just about any plant I buy (though I have a couple going strong right now, cross your fingers for me).

I grew up going to Chinese Heritage Camp and first joined the Adopteen fam as a camper back in 2017. I came back in 2018, took part in the Adoptees Giving Back Orphanage Service Trip in 2019, and reconnected with everyone last year at Beyond Adopteen. From the very beginning, I was welcomed with open arms, and now I’m excited to help create that same sense of belonging for you, whether you’re a returning or new camper! Can’t wait to meet you and see what kind of awesome memories we’ll make this summer!!
