Lindsay is a Winthrop alumna with a Bachelor of Science in Education (2008) and a Master of Education (2012). She has dedicated over 14 years to serving students as a special education teacher and department chair, while also leading as a coach in cheer and dance. Her passion for helping others reach their full potential took a new direction three years ago when she transitioned into the insurance industry, where she continued to guide individuals and families through important life decisions with care and expertise.Lindsay is married to her husband Matt, and together they are raising their daughter Miller in the heart of Rock Hill. 

Lindsay is beyond excited to step into a brand new role as Assistant Director at WinthropLIFE. This isn't just a job change—it's a leap back into the kind of work that fuels her: building relationships, promoting differentiation, self-determination, and independence. She can't wait to grow with the WinthropLIFE program and is thrilled to be back at the campus that started it all!
