Lindsey has a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Masters of Science in Exercise Science.  She worked as a clinical nutritionist at multiple acute care hospitals and centers early in her career, then transitioned to her own private health IT consulting company for the past two decades.  She landed in health IT as a Project Facilitator for the implementation of a robust nutrition information system at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and was hooked! 

She is a known visionary and has  co-developed the domain of "Nutrition Informatics" within the nutrition professionals leading organization, adapted and co-instructed a well established informatics program into the first nutrition focused informatics course of it's kind, and has spoken to many diverse audiences on nutrition and health IT.  She has a Project Manager Professional (PMP) certification and has received the Recognized Young Dietitian Award, the NIH Clinical Center Director's Award, a Health Level Seven (HL7) International Volunteer of the Y ear Award and is an elected fellow at AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association). 

Lindsey has lived in the DC Metro area for the past 27 years. Prior to that time, she moved frequently due to spouse position changes, which surfaced by her having four adult children from four different regions of the country.  She played that to her advantage by leveraging that diverse health systems experience to develop and advocate for nutrition inclusion in health IT standards, policy, and regulations in the U.S.   That diverse clinical experience set the foundation for a transition to roles in health IT and the potential impact on health care.

She has guarded any mix of personal and professional lives until recent events embraced the notion that her advocacy and talents needed a new path.  She has lived with mental illness in her family for at least 20 years.  In 2014, her family was thrusted into a very public situation involving mental health.  Having navigated mental health treatment, reimbursement and gaps in care, she now has tweaked her passion for health care into mental health management and care at the individual level.
