Madison Vincent the daughter of Ronald and Rhonda Vincent of Bridgeport. She attends Fairmont State University, where she majors in criminal justice. She plans to one day work for the FBI or as a U.S. Marshall. She was personally inspired by Deputy USM Derek Hotsinpiller, her neighbor and good friend.

Madison has served as a volunteer at the Benedum Civic Center, working with Bridgeport Parks and Recreation’s summer cooking camp for children. While attending Bridgeport High School, she was a member of the drumline and concert band, ran cross country and track. She also participated in several charitable races including the Hotsinpiller 5K, Chestnut Ridge Mud Run 5K and the Turkey Trot 5K. The word she used to describe herself is “passionate.” “With everything I do, I give it my all and put as much effort into it as I can,” she said.
