Meet Your Advisors
Maddie Marshall
I have worked in advising at the University of Utah for over 10 years in multiple capacities and several different departments. I am excited to work with physics students to reach their academic goals. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, skiing, watching TV, reading, and trying new food places as often as possible.
Stacie Cuadro
My 8 years of experience working with students ranges from teaching English in high schools in Japan to being an advisor at the U for various programs & departments. I enjoy creating safe spaces for everyone to be themselves. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, participating in recreational sports (pickleball, basketball, etc.), traveling, trying new cafes, reading, and cooking. Looking forward to meeting you!
