About

Lindsay is a strategic thinker, equity builder, and leadership enthusiast who is excited to leverage 15+ years of experience in nonprofit management, organizational development, and law to support organizations in building systems and structures to achieve their goals. She is a dot connector, a sense maker, and a bridge builder who sees the big picture while attending to the details with precision. Strong leadership and thoughtful organizational development are critical components to success, and Lindsay is excited by opportunities to build and execute these foundations on which excellence can flourish. She is the person you go to when you need to get the job done with thoughtfulness, empathy, high standards, and attention to detail.

Diversity and issues surrounding equity, belonging, and inclusion in our workplaces, community, and global society drive Lindsay’s personal and professional motivations. Working alongside, understanding, and advocating for marginalized communities has been a consistent passion. She continuously seeks opportunities that allow her to step out of her comfort zone, to stretch her own concepts of difference and opportunity, and to nurture a sense of belonging that values and celebrates the contributions of each individual. What makes us different also makes us stronger, and she approaches all of her projects and endeavors through an intentional lens of equity.

Lindsay is a proud alum of Howard University School of Law, where she was trained to be a social engineer by one of the great civil rights institutions in our country. She also holds a B.A. in U.S. History from the College of Charleston where her studies focused on race relations during the period of Reconstruction. Lindsay spent many years working in women’s healthcare clinics and advocating for reproductive rights. She also worked in a small civil rights law firm prior to law school where she was involved in impact litigation around racial justice issues. Following law school, Lindsay worked as a litigation attorney for the New York office of Weil, Gotshal and Manges and clerked for The Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. When the practice of law proved not to be for her, she went on a walkabout and landed in Guatemala where she lived and worked for four years with nonprofit organizations providing public health education and medical care to Indigenous Guatemalans. She later spent six years working in disability advocacy in the education space where she focused on building operational systems from a lens of equity, designing and executing strong program design, and managing multi-year projects seeking to improve special education in public schools. She has been a yoga teacher, an innkeeper, a bartender, and a shoe salesperson. All of these experiences and her unique path through life combine to provide a depth of perspective and experience that she enjoys applying to solving problems, big and small.
