Experience

Lindsay is a published writer and editor with over seven years of editorial experience overseeing, writing, and managing content for publication.

When she is not reading, writing, and editing content about unique locales and one-of-a-kind vacation destinations, Lindsay enjoys spending time with her family, exploring old cemeteries, attending Celtic festivals, and listening to true-crime podcasts. Before joining Islands, Lindsay previously dabbled in TV journalism, where she worked on the true-crime series "48 Hours" on CBS. Her storytelling spirit and passion for editorial led her to Static Media in 2022.
