Through The Madison Collective, Ms. Madison has created a niche recruitment agency that supports talent acquisition for luxury and lifestyle hotel brands, destination resorts, independent and corporate restaurant groups, fine dining establishments, members-only clubs and high net worth private households.

Among her professional accomplishments, Ms. Madison's most notable achievement is the founding of her own company, which required her to take significant personal and professional risks. Developing a dedicated team and an extensive network has been both challenging and rewarding for Ms. Madison, underscoring her leadership and entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to her work in hospitality, Ms. Madison has been a series regular on the iconic soap opera, "Days of Our Lives," since 2004 and has been recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with several Daytime Emmy nominations including Best Supporting Actress in 2019 and Outstanding Digital Daytime Drama in both 2012 and 2016. Her other acting credits include Law & Order, Criminal Minds, Without a Trace, Great News and One Mississippi.

Prior to launching The Madison Collective, Ms. Madison was the Vice President of Recruitment at One Haus Hospitality.

This foundation in human behavior and team leadership has been instrumental in her ability to understand client needs and candidate motivations throughout her recruiting career. Additionally, she holds a Certificate in Integrated Musical Theatre from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, reflecting her diverse interests and commitment to personal development.

Throughout her career, Ms. Madison's journey has been shaped by resilience in the face of adversity. She attributes much of her success to lessons learned during periods of unemployment and uncertainty about her professional direction. These experiences inspired her decision to become a recruiter so she could assist others navigating similar challenges. Empathy and service are central values that guide her professional philosophy.

Beyond her professional achievements, Ms. Madison is actively involved in civic organizations and advocacy work. She served as an Executive Mentor for the GLEAM Network from 2020 to 2021, supporting emerging leaders in the hospitality industry. As an advocate for The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and as a celebrity Ambassador for The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, she contributed significantly to raising money and awareness and supporting those affected by the neurological conditions her mother battled until her passing in 2021.

Born in Newport News, VA and raised in Houston, TX, Ms. Madison and her husband enjoy spending time with their daughter, a competitive equestrian. Together, they care for their horse and dedicate considerable time to the barn where she rides and competes.
