She graduated summa cum laude with her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and Spanish from the University of South Dakota and with High Honors from the University of South Dakota School of Law.

She enjoys spending Saturday mornings having coffee with her grandparents and playing with her nieces and nephews. Lindsay also enjoys giving back to her community. She currently serves on the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and Fund Development Committee for Habitat for Humanity (& yes, they even let her swing a hammer every now and again!).
