Maddie Ford: Coastal Carolina University — CoastalLIFE
2025
Maddie Ford is a two-time Rockin’ Recipient and a sophomore in the CoastalLIFE program at Coastal Carolina University, on track to graduate in Spring 2028.
She’s studying to become a teacher’s assistant, with big dreams of living on her own and leading workout classes like hip hop cardio, Zumba, or water aerobics.
An avid dancer, Maddie also loves to travel, is learning golf, and cherishes time spent with friends and family. Last year, she published a book that’s now available on Amazon!
Her freshman year was action-packed: she joined the CINO dance team, competed in Myrtle Beach, performed on campus, and spent the summer working with Safety Town, American Eagle, and Rusty Bucket. Now living in an apartment, Maddie is leveling up her independence, planning to join a sorority and work in the childcare and mentoring program on campus next year. She’s thrilled to be back at CoastalLIFE with her friends and diving into all that college life has to offer.
