Brief Biographical Sketch:
Lindsey lived just outside of Chicago, across the border in Indiana until she was 7 years old. During that time in her life, she spent hours stomping around outside and developed a love for the outdoors. Before coming back to the Midwest for college, she lived in Rhode Island with her parents, two younger sisters and two cats. In her free time, Lindsey enjoys creating art, dancing, gardening, laughing, trying to play instruments, reading, spending time with friends, teaching, and, of course, being outside!
