Maggie Young is BAAAACK! She was born in Portland, but grew up in Troutdale. She has a brother who is 12 years older and a sister that is ten years older. Since birth, her family lived in the Sweetbriar neighborhood of Troutdale. When Maggie was eight, they moved just eight homes down the street to a larger home in the same Sweetbriar neighborhood! As a child, Maggie describes herself as being very outgoing and energetic, always playing outdoors and playing make-believe. She says she has always had a very creative mind. When Maggie was five, she started playing softball and then began playing volleyball in second grade. Maggie's father was the Corbett High School softball coach, and really liked the school. He wanted Maggie to transfer to the Corbett School District. It was an easy transition because she was already friends with several Corbett girls through her involvement with them on the Mt. Hood Volleyball Club Team. Maggie played both volleyball and softball all through middle and high school. In softball, she won "Player of the Year" her Senior year as well as All-League and All-State both her Junior and Senior years! In volleyball, she won 2nd Team All-League her Sophomore year and Honorable Mention All-State her Junior year. After high school graduation, she attended Mt. Hood Community College for one year and also worked at Tad's Chicken and Dumplin's. She then moved to Eugene and worked at a restaurant for a year. Maggie decided to move back to Portland and attend Portland State Univ. for a year and work at a Montessori Pre-School. This was followed by a year of being a nanny full-time in Portland. Maggie then moved to Casper, Wyoming to become a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). After her time in Wyoming, she moved back to Troutdale and lived with her parents for a short time. She began work at a pediatric clinic in Gresham for 2 years. Maggie met her husband David when she was 14 years old through a friend. They began dating when she was 20 years old and when back from Wyoming, they eventually married. They currently have a five year old foster son. She loves exposing him to a variety of experiences. After getting married, Maggie began coaching volleyball at Corbett Middle School and also at Mt. Hood Volleyball Club. She then decided to to apply for a job at Corbett Schools in 2017 and was hired as a Paraeducator in Special Education. As a family, David and Maggie enjoy camping and doing things together outdoors.
