Lindsey joined CLWA as an intern in the Summer of 2019 during her Master’s degree program in Environmental Science at SUNY ESF. After graduating from school in the fall of 2019, she began working for CLWA helping with their programs and membership activities and also works as the organizations’ Watershed Education Program Coordinator. Lindsey is so grateful to be working for the CLWA, alongside so many passionate members and volunteers who continue to inspire her everyday.  She is so honored to being doing work that is helping to protect Canandaigua Lake and its watershed since it has always been a place held near and dear to her.

In Lindsey’s free time she loves spending time with her beautiful daughters Ayana, and Allison, husband Marcus, and Leo her husky! She loves to be in nature, hike, travel, garden, paddleboard, camp, be artistic, learn new things, and just enjoy life to the fullest!
