Nice to meet you,
I'm Lindsay.
As an environmental communicator, I like to approach complex challenges such as sustainability and climate change mitigation with empathy and curiosity. My rural upbringing taught me the value of community and the beauty of nature. These lessons have led me to a life of sustainability, communication, education, and community-building. The global search for environmental solutions is never-ending. It calls for my creative problem-solving skills and ability to connect individuals to a common goal.
My diverse background comprised of youth leadership organizations, agricultural labor, higher education technology support, agricultural education, marketing communications, corporate sales support, and environmental public service has given me the ability to form meaningful relationships with people from all walks of life. I believe my enthusiasm for community and environmental justice illuminates all my work. I know how to meet people where they’re at and work with their unique strengths to help build a better tomorrow for us all.
Public Speaking & Events
I believe that interaction in the communities I am serving is the best way to encourage behavioral shifts in individuals’ sustainability efforts. Community means everything to me and I believe connections are the key to making a difference. I love to educate in many different settings whether that is tabling at an event, speaking to a crowd, or leading by example among peers.
