Her Story

About Madelynn

Hi! My name is Madelynn Brooks, and I’m a 21-year-old Media and Communications major at Florida State University. I’m a full-time student balancing three jobs while pursuing my passion for media, marketing, and childcare. I work at the GrandMarc at Tallahassee leasing office, where I also manage and create content for their social media platform @grandmarctallahassee. In addition, I’m a childcare assistant teacher at Generations Church, where I support and care for children in a nurturing environment. Outside of school and work, I run my own babysitting business and page, @maddiesnannytakes, providing reliable, engaging, and safe childcare for families in the Tallahassee area. I’m driven, organized, and passionate about connecting with people—whether through media, community involvement, or childcare.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Madelynn

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to my love for people and the strong support system provided by my family. Their encouragement has instilled in me a strong work ethic, resilience, and a genuine passion for connecting with others, which motivates me to succeed both personally and professionally.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best career advice I’ve ever received is that it’s not just about what you know, but who you know. This advice encouraged me to prioritize networking, reaching out, and building genuine connections. I’ve learned that you never know who someone may know or what opportunities can come from forming meaningful professional relationships.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

My advice to young women entering the industry is to be yourself. Authenticity builds confidence, credibility, and meaningful connections, and it’s what will help you stand out in any space.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

One of the biggest challenges in my field is delivering exceptional customer service to a wide range of individuals, from parents to prospective clients. However, I view this challenge as an opportunity. I genuinely enjoy working with people, and I focus on understanding their needs, meeting their expectations, and accommodating them in any way I can. This approach allows me to build trust, create positive experiences, and strengthen relationships.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Balance is the value I prioritize most in both my work and personal life. Maintaining healthy relationships while managing work and school allows me to live life to the fullest and take advantage of every opportunity. I believe balance creates long-term success, fulfillment, and personal growth.
