About Lyndsay

Lyndsay believes we do our best work when we bring our true selves into our roles. By day Lyndsay works in communities creating and implementing planning policies and by night building social community through events, fundraisers, and drag performances. Merging their lived experience as a queer person and professional experience as a Planner, Lyndsay aims to inspire other Planners to incorporate a 2SLGBTQ+ inclusive lens into their practice.
