MTWBC Program Director

Direct: 406-898-2093

Hailing from the Chicago Suburbs, Lindsey knew early on she was meant to be living in the mountains. The landscape and outdoor activities drew her to Montana 16 years ago, but the friendly people and community-oriented towns cemented Lindsey's commitment to this incredible state. Lindsey has worked in the non-profit sector for the last seven years, primarily focusing on fundraising and program management. Prior to transitioning to the non-profit world, Lindsey worked as a chef for private chefs and caterers, wilderness education courses, community dining events, and restaurants.

Having worked for many types of Montana businesses, and having recently started her own small business, Lindsey is familiar with both the challenges and opportunities of business ownership. Lindsey is excited to apply her passion for helping people, bolstering local communities, and supporting individuals in her role as the Women's Business Center Program Director at Prospera.

Lindsey holds a BA from the University of Montana in Political Science and International Relations. In Lindsey's free time, you will find her spending time with her partner and dog exploring local trails on feet and bikes, snowboarding at Bridger Bowl, growing vegetables at her community garden plot, cooking for loved ones, attending live music, and traveling internationally.
