Lindsey came to Northwestern as a Kinesiology major with the intent to pursue Physical Therapy and attend graduate school. After graduation, she worked at a PT clinic as an Exercise Science Specialist but did not enjoy the environment and work as much as she expected to. Her career shifted and she began working at Medtronic as part of the Technical Development and Engagement team. Her team's work caters to the technical community of engineers and scientists, helping in recognition, professional development, and driving community engagement.
 
While at Northwestern, Lindsey was one of the most dominant volleyball players in program history. Not only does she hold the career and season records for kills, but she was First Team All-Conference four times, UMAC Player of the Year three times, 2016 AVCA Division III National Player of the Year, and AVCA First Team All-American twice, among many other awards. She also led her teams to four NCAA DIII National Tournament appearances including a Final Four appearance in 2016.
 
Lindsey stays connected with her beloved sport of volleyball as the Assistant Varsity Coach at Southwest Christian High School. For the past three years, she has loved every moment of coaching and mentoring young women. The community of believers at Southwest reminds her of the community at Northwestern, which makes her feel at home.
 
Lindsey currently lives in Chaska.
