Hi! So happy you're here! 🌸
Hi! I'm Lindsay — and if there's one thing I care deeply about, it's education. Not just the idea of it, but the real, messy, complicated work of figuring out how to make it better for students, teachers, and everyone in between.
I've spent my career doing two things: learning how to evaluate whether education systems actually work, and exploring how technology might help solve some of those harder problems. Spoiler: it's complicated. And I love that.
I'm a curious, outgoing person who genuinely loves making connections, asking questions, and sharing what I learn. If you want to talk education, edtech, or just swap ideas — I'm always in.
