Maddie Warner is a storyteller and science communicator. Joining Mission Blue in 2026, she leverages her background in chemistry and environmental policy to bring Mission Blue’s message of hope to a wide audience. Maddie has worked alongside international diplomats to protect the deep ocean, elevating perspectives from scientists and local communities to center ocean conservation efforts.
Most recently, Maddie managed communications for the LA STEM Collective, a community of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics organizations across LA County. She holds a BS in Chemistry from Georgetown University and an MA in International Environmental Policy with a concentration in Ocean and Coastal Resource Management from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. Her time in the Monterey Bay (a Hope Spot!) and growing up near the Chesapeake Bay (another Hope Spot!) have instilled in her a deep respect for the interconnected nature of the ocean and our world.
