Welcome, Madeleine!
We are thrilled to have Madeleine Schiller join our marketing and communications team as a Communications Assistant. Based in our Maple Grove, MN, office, Madeleine will support a variety of communications and document development efforts, helping create clear, engaging materials that communicate complex information to diverse audiences.
Madeleine joins HEI with a unique educational background that bridges science, communication, and design. She earned a Bachelor of Individualized Studies from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with concentrations in English, conservation biology, and art, along with a minor in interdisciplinary design. Throughout her studies, she became especially interested in how technical and scientific information can be translated into content that is both accurate and accessible.
That interest has carried through her professional experiences, which include editing, writing, design, and science communication projects. Whether developing visual materials, refining written content, or collaborating with subject matter experts, Madeleine enjoys finding creative ways to help people better understand complex topics.
We are excited to have Madeleine on our team and look forward to seeing the many ways she will support the great work our clients are doing across the region.
