Hi I’m Maddie Chidester! This is my first year writing at the Jetstream Journal and I am very excited to be working with my team! I am a sophomore who is on the Air Academy varsity lacrosse team. I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and hanging out with my friends. I love dogs and cats. I would know since I have 4 pets! I am very excited for this opportunity and where it will take me!
