"Spend a little less time trying to impress people, and a little more time trying to make something of yourself" - The Breakfast Club

My name is Madison Payne, I am currently a Freshman at East Carolina University. I am a political science major. I am from a small, one stop light town in South Eastern Virginia. Coming to Carolina for college has truly been a blessing seeing as I have never lived anywhere except my dusty little down.

In High school I played a sport every season. In the Fall It was volleyball, in the Winter it was Swimming, and in the Spring it was Softball. It was in high school that I found my passion for photography, I continue to get practice by taking senior casual photos for kids from my high school. I am currently looking to start a photography club here at ECU.

I absolutely LOVE cats! I have two, Moses and Diesel. Moses is two and weighs about nine pounds. Diesel is five and weighs about Twenty-Three pounds. They are my whole world!
