Lindsey joined The Cranwell Center Team in September 2025. Previously, she served as a student advisor for the Presidential Scholarship Initiative here at VT, supporting scholarship recipients in their academic, personal, and professional growth while keeping the program running smoothly. As a first-gen college graduate, Lindsey is deeply passionate about helping students chart their own paths, overcome barriers, and reach their full potential.

A proud graduate of James Madison University with a B.S. in Biology, Lindsey is currently pursuing certification as a Life Coach through the International Coaching Federation.

Lindsey’s career journey has taken her from the halls of the Central Intelligence Agency to serving as a U.S. diplomat in Austria with the U.S. Department of State, to working at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. She has also partnered with community-based nonprofits in Fairfax County and here in Blacksburg. Along the way, she has developed expertise in program and project management, government contracts, leadership, and personal development—always with a people-first approach.

Outside of work, you’ll often find Lindsey enjoying time with her family, catching up on Korean dramas, or perfecting a new homemade ice cream flavor (taste testers always welcome).
