I have worked in every position from a reporter to a graphic designer and an assistant director of photography. I regularly cooperate with the public and newsroom personalities from editors to designers, coordinating photos with stories to create more compelling visual products. I have managed people both younger and much older than me. My political science background allows me to understand the impact of the media on our government and vice versa.

ABOUT LINDSAY
I live in the Denver / Boulder area in Colorado and work as a freelance photographer.
Unique coverage areas: I have experience storm chasing with a very knowledgeable team and thoroughly enjoy it. Both the thrill of the chase and the seriousness of the storms' effects encourage my passion for covering severe weather. My photos of storms have been picked up by the AP and published by CNN, Fox News and others. I also have an obsession for photographing swimming and swimmers. When competitors must stand side-by-side to prepare for their race and focus among the chaos it creates an exhilarating electricity.
