(1) bringing fiscal stability and smart management to the district, by examining our current practices and norms and identifying ways to improve efficiency, create revenue, spend responsibly (including increasing the percentage of the budget spent on students and in our classrooms to well above the 55% minimum), and improve legal compliance;

(2) better connecting the community to the schools by ensuring that CCUSD is a welcoming place where all students, educators, and community members feel safe, included, heard, and appreciated; and

(3) ensuring that we have academic opportunities and extracurricular activities that meet the needs of all of our students.

Lindsay and her husband, Scott, chose to move to Culver City 10 years ago, specifically with the schools in mind. They now have one 6 year-old son, who attends El Marino in the Japanese Immersion Program (JIP). Since her son entered the district in 2022, Lindsay has worked hand-in-hand with other local parents and families to improve aspects of how the district is run - and is running now to seek to continue that work on the inside as a board member.

Lindsay grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota, the daughter of a high school German teacher and an engineer. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and French from Gustavus Adolphus College, she moved to Los Angeles to attend the UCLA School of Law, from which she graduated in 2004.

Lindsay’s 20 years of work as a lawyer includes a judicial clerkship for Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Paul H. Anderson (ret.), and more than a decade as a litigator and trial attorney in private practice, including as a partner at a national law firm. She currently works as internal counsel for a major international law firm, overseeing the work of a team of attorneys who handle a variety of information governance issues and ensure the firm’s management of information meets applicable legal, ethical, security and privacy requirements everywhere it operates around the world.

Since 2019, she has served on the Board of the National Association of Women Lawyers, the premier national bar affinity organization that advocates for the equality of women under the law and the advancement of women in the legal profession. She has also done pro bono work as a lawyer helping unhoused people obtain services, assisting foster parents seeking to adopt children, and representing an elderly victim of a predatory debt collector. While at UCLA Law, she served as a law student mentor to undergraduate students in the school's Law Fellows program, which aims to encourage and prepare high-potential undergraduate and graduate students for a career in law, increase the pipeline of diverse students interested in law, and demystify the law school experience.​

Lindsay is a founding member of the Heart of LA Democratic Club, which promotes issues of importance to women and works to get feminist candidates elected around Los Angeles County and across the country, and has served as its president since its inception. She previously served on the board of Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County, an after-school program for elementary and middle school girls that teaches them confidence and kindness while integrating physical activity and ultimately culminating in a season-ending celebratory community 5K.​

Lindsay believes that school systems thrive when we put our students and our educators first, and with the right focus and ability to build relationships with each other and across the community, we can have both equity and excellence and our schools will be among the best in Los Angeles County.

Our school board must work in partnership with our many stakeholders. That includes district staff and administration, as well as the community - district families, Culver City residents, and local businesses. We must approach our work as servant leaders, committed to addressing stakeholder needs first and learning what matters to our community.

It is my intention to hold regular "listening sessions" open to the public, where community members can meet me and tell me what is on their mind. I will also be present at community events and have an "open door" relationship with all stakeholders.

Most communication to the CCSUD community is handled through district staff. The district's communication with parents and families could use some improvement, which I will encourage.

CCUSD has a English Learners Advisory Council and an AAPI and Latino Advisory Council, but we must make efforts to seek involvement on all committees from English Learners on all advisory committees.
