Intentional, inclusive, and values-driven growth

Who We Are

At Forward Found, we believe ABA doesn't mean clinical work, and supervision should empower you to apply the science of behavior in the areas you are passionate about.

Meet the Team

Maddie Duke earned her M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis and Organizational Behavior Management from Florida Institute of Technology in 2023 and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst the same year. During graduate school, she worked under Shauna Costello, who encouraged her to explore innovative, non-traditional applications of behavior analysis. That mentorship helped Maddie bring a behavior-analytic lens to marketing and communication, where she focuses on translating science into clear, engaging messages. Outside of her professional work, Maddie enjoys applying applied behavior analysis to fashion and culture. She loves reading, styling new outfits, and painting in her free time.
