During Madeleine’s last year at Penn State Dickinson Law, she served as a law clerk at McNees, supporting the firm’s workers compensation team.

Prior to joining McNees and while pursuing her juris doctorate, Madeleine served as a research assistant for Dickinson Law School Professor Sara Gerke on projects regarding the use of artificial intelligence within government sectors and businesses and the ethical implications of its use on a global scale. She further served as a teaching assistant for the Legal Writing and Analysis course for first year law students.

Madeleine also served as a legal intern and summer associate at a Lancaster-based law firm where she supported attorneys in both litigation and transactional matters by conducting legal research, preparing memoranda and drafting business agreements.

Prior to attending law school, Madeleine worked at a New York City-area firm as a claim manager handling a caseload of over 300 September 11th Victim Compensation Fund claims, assisting survivors in obtaining compensation for their injuries due to exposure and ensuring treatment coverage from the World Trade Center Health Program. She successfully secured increased awards for clients through executing appeals for those with particularly debilitating conditions. Her interest in law began in college, where she served as a legal intern for Cumberland County Judge Edward E. Guido.
