Hi, I’m Madi Haskett!
I am originally from Kearney, Nebraska and I currently reside in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I started dancing when I was just 3 years old and immediately fell in love. I grew up at my home studio, The Dance Works, and started dancing on the competitive team when I was 13. I began teaching at that time as well and realized that dance was going to be a part of my life forever. In high school, I was on the dance team, and my senior year I was captain, and I learned how much I love to be a leader.
After graduating I came to Oklahoma City University to study dance. Soon after starting school I learned about the arts management side of the entertainment industry. I discovered my true passion in this field. Since then, I have been throwing myself into any and all arts management opportunities. I have served many positions for the shows held at OCU, including and most recently, Student Liaison for Project 21 and Banquet Chair for Students of Arts Management.
I bring a positive attitude and encouraging nature to every space I work in. I value a space where everyone is welcome to grow and learn. I have a strong work ethic and good leadership skills that allow me to work with others very well. Through the many skills I have gained from her positions and roles at Oklahoma City University I am able to contribute so much to every space I work in.
