24 | The Joy of Being a Varsity Athlete and the Future of Women's Soccer

In this episode of The Inflection Point, I had a wonderful conversation with Maddy Tupper. Maddy is currently in her 5th year of school at the Alberta School of Business at UofA. She is a BCom student with a specialization in Finance and a minor in Operations Management. Originally from Calgary, Maddy moved to Edmonton not only for school, but also to play varsity soccer for the University of Alberta Women's soccer team. Professionally, Maddy worked for 8 months as an Accounting Co-op Student at Hyper Hippo Entertainment - a video game software development company based in Kelowna B.C. She also has work experience in the nonprofit sector through two summer internships. Maddy’s involvement also extends to student government. She recently completed her term as President of the University Athletics Board (UAB), and also served on the Sustainability and Capital Fund Committee, and the Sub Master Planning Committee in her early years of university. In her free time, she enjoys reading, scuba diving, and water sports. Brazil by Declan McKenna still tops her charts as one of her favorite tracks.   We hope you enjoyed today's episode of The Inflection Point!
