Madison Cornell
I became a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) in 2020 and have loved working in the medical field ever since, especially in pediatrics. Before that, I spent time as a preschool teacher and a nanny, where I had the privilege of working with some amazing kids, including those with ADHD, ODD, and bipolar disorder. I’ve also earned certifications in child development, which have helped me better understand how to support children’s unique needs. I was born and raised in California, growing up in the small country town of Tehachapi. Growing up in a split household, I spent time with my mom in the city, which gave me an appreciation for the fast-paced lifestyle while still holding onto my small-town roots.. Mental health has always been close to my heart, inspired by the experiences of friends and family. I truly believe mental health deserves the same care and attention as physical health—it’s such an important part of our overall well-being! Life is full of opportunities, and I’ve embraced a few! While I’ve thought about pursuing teaching, healthcare has my heart for now. I’m also dipping my toes into the world of business and am in the process of getting my real estate license. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me with my family, husband, or friends—or recharging my introverted side with a good book, singing, or playing my guitar. I’m known for always having a smile on my face and staying optimistic, no matter what life throws my way!Madison Cornell
