Biography

Born and raised in Toronto Ontario, Madison is an actor, host, model and advocate.

Madison strives to shatter the expectations people have towards individuals with Down syndrome. She’s always said it’s the least interesting thing about her.

Madison’s credits include her iconic role Cosentino in the film Champions, hosting TV shows and red carpets, and walking the runway for fashion shows and tours.

Madison took the world by storm in CoorDown's "Assume That I Can" advert in honour of World Down Syndrome Day 2024, which accumulated over 150M views.

Madison is the first person with Down syndrome to be nominated for a Canadian Screen Award and this year received the Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy award from the Global Down syndrome Foundation. More recently, Madison won three Webby Awards for using her social media platforms to shed a light on what real life is like for a person with Down syndrome.
