Lindsey is so excited to join the 8th-grade team at FSI! After earning a bachelor’s degree in environmental science, Lindsey started her teaching career as an environmental educator and worked for a forest preserve system in Illinois. While there, she led diverse groups of 3-11 year olds on hiking and nature adventures and taught educational family and adult programs as well. After relocating to Tennessee and earning a master’s degree in education, Lindsey started her classroom teaching career as a 6th grade English and Social Studies teacher at an International Baccalaureate World School. While there, she served as head coach of the track & field team, and also led the Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole running programs. Eventually, adventure called, and Lindsey took a year off teaching to do some traveling around the world and backpacking through national parks.
After landing in Asheville, Lindsey taught at Francine Delany New School for Children in the 5th & 6th-grade classroom. She is really excited about the EL model at Franklin and looks forward to connecting with her students, building community here, and enjoying the great books we’ll read together!
