Lindsay brings more than 20 years of international experience in the fields of economic development, non-formal education, and democracy support with nonprofit and community-based organizations. She began her career as an English teacher with the U.S. Peace Corps in Mongolia and continued her professional work in Egypt, Afghanistan, and Myanmar (Burma). Her philosophy is rooted in listening to and working in collaboration with communities to design and implement strategies that address locally identified needs. She integrates key principles of conflict resolution, civic engagement, and diverse voices and perspectives throughout her work with communities. Her skills for project management and community-driven action will help strengthen more resilient food ecosystems in the Bay Area.
