Lindsey is a language instructor with the Global Language Network in Washington, D.C., where she teaches classes of students learning Spanish and Portuguese, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. For her day job, the is a behavioral scientist with 10 years of professional experience designing and implementing behavioral interventions for development programs throughout the Spanish-and Portuguese-speaking world. Her hope for her students is that they will fall in love with the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world and decide to engage with, work with, and/or live amongst the beauty of the diverse people and cultures found there, as she has. She holds a B.S. in international health and neuroscience, with a minor in Spanish, from Trinity University in Texas. For four years in college, she taught an anatomy in Spanish course to remove barriers to entry to medical school for native Spanish speakers. Lindsey graduated while abroad on a Public Health, Traditional Medicine, and Community Empowerment program with the School for International Training in Chile. Here, she became fully-immersed in using Spanish daily while living with her host family and building life-long friendships with local friends. She also holds an M.A. in international economics and development from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, where she reached Intermediate Mid II level in Portuguese within a year, through testing into higher levels and excelling through placement exams. She was a graduate consultant for the first asset management firm serving vegan female entrepreneurs in Mexico City, Mexico, where she designed and led qualitative fieldwork in Spanish in Mexico. A month after graduation, she flew to Colombia on a competitive fellowship to conduct qualitative fieldwork on gun violence prevention with the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health. Most recently, she adapted parenting manuals for families in Colombia, Bolivia, and Guatemala with Promundo-US, working with Portuguese and Spanish speakers.
